2015 Renault Twingo 1.0L Petrol · SH15 VPN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in mechanical neglect and deferred repairs. While it passed the test in December 2025 at 56,115 miles, it failed just two days prior with a high volume of significant defects. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to multiple failures in 2024 and 2025 indicates that the vehicle is only being maintained when necessary to pass legal inspections rather than through a proactive service schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. However, the data shows periods of rapid use, such as the 10,000 miles driven between December 2023 and December 2024, followed by another 7,800 miles between late 2024 and late 2025. This intermittent pattern of low-mileage use often contributes to the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of corrosion on exposed metal surfaces, which is evident here. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the nearside and offside suspension arm bushes have been flagged as worn for three consecutive years. The corroded nearside front coil spring remains a persistent issue that needs to be addressed to prevent sudden structural failure. Furthermore, the presence of a severely deteriorated offside rear inner drive shaft CV boot is a critical concern, as this will lead to grease loss and eventual joint failure if not replaced. The record also highlights a non-excessive oil leak and a corroded oil sump, which require monitoring to determine the rate of consumption. Given the previous failures for worn and pitted front brake discs and exhaust leaks, the buyer should verify the current state of the braking system and the integrity of the exhaust. The recurring history of insecure components and defective wiper blades suggests a previous owner who paid little attention to basic vehicle upkeep.
