2019 Renault ZOE Electric · LR69 XEP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 61,909 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just one day prior for a perished offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover and a failed rear fog lamp. While the immediate defects were rectified, the recurring nature of suspension-related failures suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they threaten an MOT certificate. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 26,122 miles and the November 2025 test at 61,909 miles, the car covered 35,787 miles, indicating a steady usage profile. There is no evidence of long periods of inactivity or sudden mileage spikes, but the consistent usage is sufficient to justify the wear and tear on rubber components and steering joints as seen in the record. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension geometry, as the history shows a clear trend of ball joint issues. The 2024 failure for an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint and the 2022 advisory for play in the nearside equivalent indicate the front end is prone to premature wear. Furthermore, the 2023 advisory regarding inner edge wear on the offside front tyre suggests a persistent alignment issue or a worn bushing that was perhaps never fully corrected. A physical check of all rubber boots and ball joints is necessary to ensure no further structural degradation is developing in the steering assembly.
