2015 Renault ZOE Electricity · NJ15 HTU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the Zoe passed its February 2026 test at 51,330 miles, it followed a significant failure just weeks prior at 51,179 miles. This failure highlighted multiple critical issues, including thin front brake pads, an inoperative parking brake, and worn anti-roll bar components. The data suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. At 51,330 miles over 11 years, the vehicle has covered a low annual mileage, averaging roughly 4,666 miles per. This low usage is consistent across the records, with 6,394 miles driven between February 2025 and February 2026. However, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related component degradation. The recurring mention of brake fluid levels near the minimum mark in both 2024 and 2025 indicates the car may have sat for extended periods, which can lead to moisture absorption and internal corrosion within the braking system. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The record shows recurring issues with pitted brake discs, uneven tyre wear, and binding calipers, which suggest the braking hardware is being neglected or seized. The 2026 failure also noted distorted road wheels on the nearside front and rear, which could indicate impact damage or severe curb strikes. Additionally, the previous reports of suspension arm bushes in 2025 and anti-roll bar linkage play in 2026 require a close check for remaining play or new knocks to ensure the steering geometry is not deteriorating further.
