2024 Renault 2 Electricity · HG52 HDG

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy, as the most recent MOT test on 21 December 2023 at 48,851 miles resulted in a failure for three separate items. This represents a worsening trend, as the previous test history is not provided, but the December 2023 outcome indicates a significant lapse in basic maintenance where consumable items were neglected to the point of failing statutory requirements. The recorded mileage of 48,851 miles for a 2024-registered vehicle equates to an exceptionally high annual average of approximately 24,426 miles per year. This rate of use far exceeds the UK average and signifies accelerated wear on all mechanical components subject to friction and stress. The MOT history contains only this single entry, creating a conspicuous gap of over two and a half years from the test date to the present day. This extended period without a valid MOT certificate strongly suggests the vehicle has been off-road, stored, or operated without legal compliance, preventing any ongoing assessment of its roadworthiness. A buyer must physically inspect the items that failed the last test and anticipate wear consistent with the high mileage. The nearside and offside rear tyres both had cuts deep enough to reach the ply or cords, which is a critical structural failure; the present condition of all tyres, including the front, must be checked for similar damage, uneven wear patterns, and correct tread depth. The ineffective offside windscreen wiper requires immediate replacement. Beyond these specific failures, the high accumulated mileage necessitates a thorough examination of the braking system for worn discs and binding calipers, the suspension for worn bushes or fatigued coil springs, and the exhaust for leaks or corrosion. Any evidence of poor previous upkeep, such as the tyre failures, raises concerns about the overall mechanical care and potential hidden deterioration in other systems.
