2021 Renault ZOE Iconic Rapid Charge EV 50 Electric · HN71 VRJ

A consistent record of MOT passes is tempered by a recurring pattern of front tyre wear. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 resulted in a pass, yet it continued a trend seen in 2024 where the front tyres were flagged as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edge. While the vehicle has maintained its roadworthiness, the repetition of this specific advisory suggests a persistent issue with front-end tyre longevity. The recorded mileage of 33,118 miles over approximately five years indicates an average annual accumulation of roughly 6,624 miles. This usage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age, meaning the mechanical components and the electric drivetrain have likely been subjected to standard operational wear without the extremes associated with very high mileage or the degradation risks linked to long periods of inactivity. Attention should be focused on the front tyres and the vehicle's tracking. The specific mention of wear on the edges in the 2024 and 2025 records suggests that the wheels may not be perfectly aligned. During a test drive, the buyer should monitor for any steering pull or a steering wheel that does not return to centre, as these are common symptoms of alignment issues. A physical inspection of the current tyre tread is necessary to confirm if the tyres flagged in the September 2025 test have been replaced. Beyond the tyre advisories, the MOT history shows no failures or flags regarding the suspension bushes, braking system, or structural integrity. The absence of other advisories indicates that the primary mechanical concern is limited to the tyre wear pattern. The buyer should verify that the front tyres now possess sufficient tread depth across the entire width of the contact patch to ensure safety and compliance.
