Recorded failure items include: “Brake performance unable to be tested due to risk of displacement (1.2.1 (g))”; “Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm almost to cord around inner edge of tread (5.2.3 (e))”; “Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed tyre split to cord around inner side wall (5.2.3 (d) (ii))”.
Common Problems: RENAULT ZOE
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Battery Charger Box (BCB) Failure(Serious)
The BCB is responsible for managing AC charging. It is a common failure point, often caused by internal component failure or moisture ingress. A failed BCB will prevent the car from charging on AC, though DC rapid charging (if fitted) may still work.
- Power Electronic Box (PEB) Failure(Serious)
The PEB (Inverter) converts DC from the battery to AC for the motor. Failure symptoms often start with intermittent power loss or unusual whining noises before total vehicle immobilisation.
- 12V battery electrical chaos(Serious)
A weak 12V battery is the root of most Zoe "breakdowns". It can cause "Check Electrical System" messages, charging failures, and total vehicle immobilisation.
- Suspension (Drop links and ball joints) wear(Moderate)
Due to the heavy battery pack, the Zoe’s front suspension components, particularly drop links and ball joints, wear faster than on a standard Clio.
- Charging port and flap failure(Moderate)
The locking pin for the Type 2 cable can fail, or the flap motor can seize, preventing the car from charging or releasing the cable.
