2015 Renault Twingo 1.0L Petrol · SO15 RXG

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until November 2026, though the maintenance trend shows a sharp decline in care. While the car passed its annual inspections consistently between 2022 and 2024 with no recorded defects, the November 2025 test revealed a significant deterioration in condition. The initial failure in 2025 flagged ten separate items, ranging from critical structural and braking failures to basic lighting and exhaust issues. This sudden accumulation of faults suggests that the vehicle underwent a period of neglect or heavy use immediately preceding the 2025 inspection. With a recorded mileage of 61,934 over eleven years, the Twingo averages approximately 5,630 miles annually, which is well below the national average for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation remained steady at roughly 4,000 to 7,000 miles per year throughout the recorded history. This low usage pattern generally reduces drivetrain fatigue, but the 2025 failure report indicates that the vehicle may have been left standing or subjected to poor road conditions, as evidenced by the distorted road wheel and fractured coil spring. Prospective buyers must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and braking systems. The 2025 failure highlighted a fractured offside front coil spring and a worn anti-roll bar linkage, both of which are critical for handling and stability. You should verify that the front brake discs and pads were replaced correctly following the failure, as significant wear was noted at that time. Given the reported exhaust hole and lambda sensor issues, ensure the engine runs smoothly without an illuminated check engine light, and carefully inspect the nearside front wheel for any lingering distortion that could affect tyre wear or steering geometry.
