2015 Renault Twingo 1.0L Petrol · KD15 YSA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a recent shift toward minor mechanical wear and tear. In the most recent test in January 2026 at 83,647 miles, the tester identified a defective nearside wiper blade and slight play in the offside front lower anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. While these issues did not prevent a pass, the transition from the clean records of previous years to these advisories suggests the vehicle is beginning to require attention on its suspension and trim components. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between April 2023 at 66,491 miles and January 2026 at 83,647 miles, the car covered 17,156 miles, showing steady usage patterns. The short gap between the February 2024 and February 2025 tests shows a further accumulation of 5,062 miles, which aligns with the typical annual average following the repair of the major exhaust leak failure. A buyer should inspect the front suspension specifically to check for the extent of the play in the anti-roll bar linkage, as neglected bushings can lead to knocking noises and poor handling if left untreated. The major exhaust leak recorded in early 2024 was clearly rectified, but a visual check of the exhaust manifold and hangers is advisable to ensure no further corrosion is setting hold. Given the lack of structural advisories in the history, the primary focus should remain on the condition of rubber components and the integrity of the wiper system as the vehicle continues into its higher mileage bracket.
