2009 Renault Twingo 1.1L Petrol · NJ09 UKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the 24 July 2026 MOT at 94,804 miles. The tester flagged a service brake binding on the off‑side front but not excessive, and noted corrosion on the near‑side front and central brake pipes, both covered in grease. These are advisory items rather than outright failures, and the overall result is a pass. Over the last twelve months the car moved from a failure in August 2025 to a clean pass, indicating an improving maintenance trend. At 94,804 miles the car averages roughly 5,600 miles per year, well below the typical usage for a 2009 model. The mileage record shows a steady climb from 71,299 miles in February 2020 to 94,804 miles in July 2026, with no large gaps, suggesting consistent but modest use. The most recent three‑year period adds about 7,800 miles, confirming the low‑annual mileage pattern. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front brake system, confirming that the slight binding does not translate into uneven pedal feel and that the corroded brake pipes are free of leaks. Inspection of the anti‑roll bar linkage pins and bushes on both front sides is advisable, given repeated wear comments across several years. Tyre health must be checked, especially for any lingering damage from the previously noted rear nail punctures and the near‑limit tread depths recorded in 2024. The constant‑velocity boot on the off‑side front drive shaft, flagged as split in 2019 and again in 2020, should be examined for grease contamination or joint play. Finally, the loose central heat‑shield and any signs of rust around the rear axle and suspension components merit visual confirmation.
