2021 Renault ZOE I Iconic ZE 50 Electric · LM21 AOT

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is rated as poor based on the MOT record, indicating a significant risk of structural or mechanical failure. The most recent test on 2026-01-14 was passed, but the record reveals a critical failure in the reversing lamp in the 2025-02-05 test at 16,712 miles. This reversable failure suggests that the braking system has not been adequately maintained, as this component is a common cause of brake disc wear and is easily accessible. The subsequent test on 2024-02-12 failed on the nearside front tyre, which implies a pattern of neglect where tyres were replaced without regular inspection or tread depth monitoring. The mileage accumulation is concerning given the vehicle's age of approximately five years. The test at 16,712 miles occurred shortly after the 2025-02-05 failure, indicating rapid mileage growth without corresponding maintenance. This gap suggests that the owner may have been less diligent regarding routine servicing, potentially allowing wear on suspension components, brake discs, or drivetrain parts to accumulate. The 21,369 miles recorded at the 2026-01-14 test is also very low for a 2021 model, which typically requires more than 20,000 miles annually for a healthy engine and chassis. Given these findings, a buyer must physically inspect the vehicle to verify the condition of the reversing lamp, the brake disc, and the tyre tread. The history shows a clear trend of intermittent failures rather than a stable condition; the lack of any recorded defects since the 2025-02-05 test indicates that the vehicle has not been serviced regularly. If the buyer proceeds without a physical inspection, they risk suffering catastrophic damage to the braking system and tyre wear, which could lead to a total loss of the car's value and safety.
