2015 Renault ZOE Electricity · SM65 ETE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having a clean pass in its most recent test in November 2025 at 31,233 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement following a significant failure in late 2024. While the 2024 test revealed multiple mechanical and lighting defects, the subsequent pass without advisories indicates that the previous owner addressed the identified faults to bring the car back to testing standards. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,840 miles per year. Between October 2022 and November 2024, the car covered only 4,983 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary or very light use. This low usage typically means less wear on the drivetrain and braking system, though it can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits for extended months. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry and tyres, given the recurring issues noted in the mid-life MOT history. The 2024 failure flagged an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint and exposed cords on the offside front tyre. A buyer should verify that the ball joint has been replaced and check for any remaining uneven tyre wear which might indicate persistent misalignment. Additionally, because the vehicle has low mileage, the inspector should check the brake discs for surface pitting or rust, often common on electric vehicles that are not used frequently.
