2016 Renault ZOE Electric · SO16 FMZ

This 2016 Renault Zoe has a low annual mileage of roughly 5,125 miles, suggesting light use, though this can sometimes lead to components perishing from standing. The vehicle's condition trend is worsening. While it had a clean MOT in 2022, the last three years show a recurring and escalating pattern of suspension and wheel issues. Specifically, a distorted nearside front road wheel has been flagged consistently since 2023, indicating a permanent impact or alignment problem that has not been rectified. The most recent MOT from August 2025 reveals significant deterioration of the front end. Both front shock absorbers now have reduced damping, and the nearside front lower suspension arm now has play in the ball joint. This follows a history of worn suspension bushes and a major brake failure in 2023 involving worn discs and imbalance across both axles. The combination of a distorted wheel and deteriorating suspension components suggests the car may have been subjected to hard curb impacts or poor road conditions, which contradicts the low mileage figure. A buyer must first inspect the nearside front wheel for visible damage and check for uneven tyre wear. You should also test the suspension for knocks or instability and verify if the shock absorbers have been replaced since the last MOT, as these are now critical wear items.
