Our Verdict
A recommended purchase provided the rece
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritise the 2025 MOT advisory regarding the corroded rear brake pipe; this is a critical safety component that should be professionally assessed or replaced. You should also check for evidence of suspension work, as both the anti-roll bar bushings and a front upper shock absorber bush have been flagged in the MOT history.
Request the full service history to confirm the timing belt and water pump have been replaced, as these are interval-based requirements for the 1149cc engine. Use the recent advisories on brake pipes and suspension bushings as a point of negotiation for the final sale price.
The 1.1L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically placing this vehicle in a low insurance group and a modest road tax bracket. Fuel economy is generally good for city driving, though maintenance costs will now increase as the vehicle enters its second decade, particularly regarding rubber components and corrosion prevention.
Typical annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine servicing, are estimated to be relatively low compared to larger hatchbacks, though the current suspension advisories suggest some immediate maintenance spend may be required.
The most critical area for inspection is the rear brake pipework, which was noted as corroded in September 2025. Ensure a mechanic confirms whether these pipes require immediate replacement or if they have already been treated. Additionally, listen for knocks or rattles from the front end, as the anti-roll bar pins and bushes were flagged as worn in the most recent test.
Check the condition of all four tyres; the MOT history shows a pattern of 'damaged, cracking or perishing' front tyres in 2021 and 2022, which often indicates a vehicle that has spent long periods stationary. Finally, inspect the windscreen for any remaining chips or cracks mentioned in previous years.
This 2013 Renault Twingo has recorded five consecutive MOT passes without a single failure, which is positive given the model's aggregate pass rate of 75.9%. With 57,689 miles on the odometer, the vehicle has been used less than the average Twingo. Recent records show a transition from tyre and glass advisories to suspension and corrosion concerns.
The Twingo has a moderate aggregate MOT pass rate of 75.9%, with common failure points typically involving the exhaust, tyres, and coil springs.
