2019 Renault ZOE Electricity · SC19 TNF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline identified in the most recent inspection. While the car passed consecutive tests between 2022 and 2025 without any defects, the test on 6 May 2026 at 81,955 miles revealed multiple significant mechanical issues. This indicates that after a period of stable operation, components are now reaching the end of their functional life and require immediate attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old electric vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per annum. Between the May 2022 test at 34,763 miles and the May 2025 test at 71,325 miles, the vehicle covered over 36,000 miles with a clean record. However, the 10,630 miles covered between May 2025 and May 2026 tests coincide with the sudden appearance of mechanical wear in the steering and tyre components. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the steering system because the tester flagged play in both the offside and nearside front steering rack inner joints. This fault often results in imprecise handling and uneven tyre wear, necessitating the replacement of the inner joints. The offside front tyre is also at the legal limit and shows edge wear, which suggests an alignment issue or a worn suspension component that must be addressed to prevent further damage to new rubber.
