2017 Renault ZOE Electric · KF66 CWK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2023-07-06 at 44,394 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the prior test on 2023-07-04 at 44,392 miles ended in a failure despite no defects being noted. This inconsistency suggests potential procedural or administrative issues, as the same mileage and date range yielded conflicting outcomes. Subsequent tests from 2022 and 2021 show a stable pattern, with passes at 37,962 and 31,413 miles respectively. The lack of recorded defects in later tests implies no immediate mechanical failures, but the three-year gap since the last valid MOT raises concerns about unverified maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 44,394 miles over nine years equates to an average of 4,933 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could affect components like the battery, suspension, and fluid systems. Notably, the 2021 tests at 31,413 miles recorded a failure and subsequent pass on the same date, indicating possible temporary issues or incomplete repairs. The absence of recurring defects in later tests does not rule out latent problems, particularly in an electric vehicle where long-term storage impacts battery health and electrical integrity. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the battery condition, as low mileage and potential storage could degrade its performance. Electrical systems, including charging ports and onboard diagnostics, warrant scrutiny. Suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, may require checking for stiffness or wear due to inactivity. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in MOT records is positive, but the lack of recent testing means unrecorded faults could exist. A professional inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s readiness for regular use.
