2010 Renault Twingo 1.6L Petrol · HV60 BKD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 28 June 2025 at 69,622 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the mechanical and safety concerns identified in previous years have been addressed. This transition from multiple advisories to a clean record suggests a proactive approach to maintenance by the current ownership period. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,350 miles per year. The data shows a significant period of inactivity between August 2021 and October 2022, where the odometer remained at 68,111 miles. Since October 2022, usage has become more consistent, covering roughly 700 miles annually. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals due to time rather than mechanical friction. A physical inspection should focus on the areas that showed previous vulnerability during the October 2022 test. That specific entry flagged a damaged nearside rear brake pipe and perishing tyres on both rear wheels. While these were resolved, the buyer should verify the integrity of the brake lines for any signs of corrosion or weeping and ensure the current tyres are not aged prematurely. Given the low annual mileage, checking for sidew cracking in the tyres and inspecting perished suspension bushes is essential, as these components often fail on vehicles that sit stationary for long periods.
