2010 Renault Twingo 1.1L Petrol · ML60 FNO

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness profile characterized by a history of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent recorded test in August 2022 at 61,113 miles, this followed a significant failure just eight days prior. That failure revealed critical safety issues including an SRS warning lamp and a non-functional horn, alongside mechanical and tyre defects. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they become necessary to pass an MOT test, rather than monitoring components for wear in advance. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,820 miles per year. Data shows a notable gap in usage, with only 4,032 miles covered between January 2020 and August 2022. This low annual mileage indicates the car likely sits for long periods, which is consistent with the recurring issues with perished rubber components found in the record. The lack of any MOT data since August 2022 means the vehicle is currently four years out of date, significantly increasing the risk of undetected mechanical degradation or safety failures. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension, as the record consistently flags play in ball joints and track rod ends across the 2020 and 2022 tests. The exhaust system also shows a persistent leak from 2021 through 2022, indicating a recurring issue that remains poorly monitored. Most importantly, the repeated mention of cracking and perishing tyres across four years confirms that the rubber components are failing due to age rather than tread depth. Given the long period of inactivity, an inspection for seized brake calipers, perished brake hoses, and underbody structural corrosion is essential before purchase.
