2015 Renault Twingo 0.9L Petrol · GC15 OLV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The latest test in October 2025 at 92,428 miles showed a pass with an advisory for pitted and scored front brake discs. This follows a recurring issue seen in September 2023, where the car failed initially for the same defect. While the vehicle has passed its latest inspection, the persistent mention of brake component wear suggests parts are only replaced once they reach a legal limit. At 92,428 miles, the Twingo has averaged approximately 8,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for an eleven-year-old car. The mileage progression is consistent, with only roughly 2,000 miles recorded between the September 2024 and October 2025 tests. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of sitting stationary, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and internal fluid corrosion in the suspension and braking systems. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a history of failure in the ball joints. In September 2023, the vehicle failed on the offside front ball joint, and by September 2024, the nearside front lower arm ball joint was found excessively worn. This pattern of accelerated wear on the front-end assembly warrants a thorough physical check for play in the steering components and bushings during a test drive. The recurring pitting on the front brake discs also remains a known weak point, suggesting the calipers may be sticking or the vehicle is being left in damp environments without frequent use.
