2016 Renault Twingo 1.0L Petrol · RV66 NGG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in November 2025 at 76,053 miles passed, following a failure just eight miles prior. That failure involved a worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint and an exhaust emissions failure. While the vehicle passed since then, the recurring nature of mechanical failures across the last three tests suggests that the owner may only be addressing faults when they directly threaten an MOT certificate. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. The car covered roughly 10,000 miles between October 2023 and November 2024, and another 5,600 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This steady usage suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps explain the gradual degradation of rubber-based suspension components and the pitting on the brake discs noted in the record. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension and braking system. The record shows a previously fractured offside front coil spring in 2024 and a worn ball joint in 2025, so the entire front assembly should be checked for play or uneven wear patterns. The 2023 advisory regarding pitted front brake discs indicates the hardware may be nearing the end of its service life or suffering from surface corrosion. Additionally, the non-excessive oil leak flagged in November 2025 requires a visual inspection of the undercarriage to ensure it remains a minor seal seep rather than a developing gasket failure that could lead to oil starvation.
