2018 Renault ZOE Electric · FP18 VLX

The Renault Zoe presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 June 2025 at 55,384 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date at identical mileage showing no listed defects, which points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in June 2024 at 51,652 miles, June 2023 at 48,518 miles, and June 2022 at 43,566 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories raised. The mileage pattern sits at typical levels for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,900 miles per year. From the June 2022 test at 43,566 miles to June 2025 at 55,384 miles the car covered 11,818 miles across three years, confirming light and consistent use with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA record is sparse on faults, showing no corrosion, suspension wear, brake defects, or exhaust concerns across the entire history. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection despite the clean record. The same day fail and pass in June 2025 with no defects logged warrants confirmation that the V5C and MOT certificate match and that no suppressed advisory exists. Given the Zoe's age, check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition for early wear not yet captured by the tester. Structural integrity and electrical systems specific to the EV drivetrain remain untested by MOT scope. Verify battery health and charging function independently. The absence of recorded faults suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but a pre purchase inspection remains sensible on a vehicle of this mileage and age.
