2020 Renault ZOE I Iconc Rapid Charge ZE 50 Electricity · SB70 CFE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a clean record to emerging mechanical wear. While the car passed its 2023 and 2024 tests without any defects, the November 2025 test at 38,004 miles revealed several issues that required immediate attention. The trend suggests that while the vehicle was well-maintained initially, it is now entering a phase of component replacement necessary after several years of consistent use. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 24,497 miles and the November 2024 test at 32,360 miles, the car covered roughly 7,800 miles, followed by another interval of about 5,600 miles. This steady usage rate suggests the car has not been subjected to extreme stress, but explains the natural degradation of metal and rubber components noted in the latest MOT record. A buyer should focus on the braking and suspension during a physical inspection. The 2025 failure flagged both front and rear brake discs as being pitted and scored. While these were not considered structurally weakened, pitting indicates surface corrosion often caused by periods of standing or frequent short-trip driving. Additionally, the tester noted light oil misting on both rear shock absorbers. Although this was an advisory-level observation, it marks the beginning of seal failure and should be monitored to ensure the shocks do not progress to significant leaks.
