RD06 DEX MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
10 MOT tests are recorded for this 2018 Renault Zoe (RD06 DEX) between July 2021 and July 2026.
The record contains 6 passes and 4 failures.
The most recent test on 17 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 4 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (6 issues), Tyres (4 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Suspension (1 issue), Windscreen (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 7 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Service brake excessively binding (1.2.1 (f))”; “Nearside Rear Tyre has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords (5.2.3 (d) (i))”; “Reversing lamp inoperative (4.6.1 (a))”.
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.
