2014 Renault ZOE Electric · GL64 RZE

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable history of passing consecutive MOT tests without any mechanical failures. The most recent test in February 2025 at 31,347 miles resulted in a pass, though it highlighted recurring advisories regarding tyre perishing. While the mechanical and structural integrity appears sound, the persistent mention of tyre condition suggests that the rubber is suffering from age-related degradation rather than tread wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old Renault Zoe, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between January 2022 and December 2022, where the car covered only 1,788 miles over eleven months. This low-frequency use often reduces wear on the drivetrain and brake components, but it increases the likelihood of rubber-based parts, such as suspension bushes and tyres, becoming brittle or flat due to the vehicle sitting stationary for extended periods. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres, as the repeated failures for cracking and perishing noted in 2020, 2022, and 2025 indicate the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life regardless of remaining tread depth. The inspector should also check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often develop surface rust from infrequent use. Checking the suspension rubberwork for signs of cracking is essential, as these components often fail on older vehicles that are not driven regularly.
