2013 Renault ZOE Electric · FX13 TOV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the history reveals a reactive approach to maintenance rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 25 June 2026 at 87,862 miles passed with no defects, following a failure just two miles prior for a nearside front tyre with cords exposed. While the car consistently passes its annual inspections, the recurring pattern of failures for lighting and minor components suggests that the owner typically only addresses issues once they trigger an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. The data shows steady usage patterns, growing from 6,438 miles in 2017 to nearly 88,000 by 2026. There are no significant periods of inactivity that would suggest rubber degradation from long standing times, though the jump of 11,800 miles between 2021 and 2022 indicates a slight increase in usage that does not compromise mechanical integrity. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the electrical system and front suspension, as these have shown repeated weaknesses. Registration plate lamps and stop lamps have failed at multiple intervals, including 2022, 2023, and 2025, indicating potential persistent wiring issues or corroded sockets. The tester also flagged an offside front lower suspension arm ball joint as excessively worn in 2025, which suggests that front suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. Despite the recent pass, a thorough check of the ball joints and arm bushes is necessary to ensure no further mechanical wear is developing.
