2015 Renault Twingo 1.0L Petrol · MX65 VBT

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 6 May 2026 at 36,006 miles resulted in a pass despite a minor exhaust issue, indicating the exhaust system remains functional. However, the failure record from the same day reveals critical brake and tyre problems. The tester flagged dangerously thin front brake pads and severely weakened brake discs, along with under-treaded front and rear tyres, all of which pose serious safety risks. The rear exhaust silencer was also loose, a condition that could lead to excessive noise and potential exhaust leakage. This pattern suggests the previous owner prioritised addressing the exhaust over the more urgent and dangerous brake and tyre issues, resulting in a vehicle that was unsafe to drive for a period. The low annual mileage of approximately 3,273 miles over eleven years indicates the car has seen minimal use, which explains the severe degradation of the front brake components from prolonged parking with the brake pedal applied, leading to corrosion and uneven wear. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough mechanical inspection of the brake system, checking for binding calipers and ensuring the brake pads and discs are replaced. They should also verify the tyre tread depth and condition, and inspect the exhaust system for any signs of further deterioration.
