2022 Renault ZOE Techno Boost Charge EV 50 Electric · NV72 KSF

The Renault Zoe in question achieved a clean pass in its most recent MOT test on 11 December 2025, with no defects recorded at 42,444 miles. The preceding test on 6 December 2025—just five days earlier—was a failure, though notably without any listed defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. This abrupt reversal does not indicate a worsening trend in roadworthiness, but the lack of defects in either test means there is no historical evidence of recurring faults. The vehicle’s most recent MOT remains valid for just over seven months, which is standard, though the absence of any advisories or defects in the latest pass suggests the tester did not identify any immediate concerns. The recorded mileage of 42,444 miles over approximately four years from its 2022 registration equates to an average of around 10,600 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between the two most recent tests, as the difference between 42,390 and 42,444 miles spans just five days. This consistency implies either regular, moderate use or a period of limited driving, though the latter would not necessarily be a red flag unless paired with signs of neglect. The lack of earlier MOT records means we cannot assess long-term wear patterns, but the current data does not raise immediate concerns about excessive mileage-related deterioration. Given the absence of defects or advisories in the most recent MOT, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components typically overlooked in electric vehicles, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering linkages, which can degrade without the same audible or visual cues as internal combustion engines. The brakes—particularly rear calipers and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as electric vehicles often experience different braking patterns due to regenerative braking systems. Additionally, the battery and cooling system, while not MOT-tested, warrant scrutiny, as thermal management issues can emerge over time. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and wheel arch protection, should also be examined, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to salted roads or poor parking conditions. The lack of historical faults does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
