2020 Renault ZOE I GT LN Rapid Charge ZE 50 Electricity · VM62 VAL

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 3 August 2026, though the overall maintenance trend indicates a recurring issue with tyre wear and a previous history of brake degradation. While the tests in 2024 and 2025 were clean, the return of multiple tyre advisories in the latest inspection suggests a lapse in preventative maintenance or an underlying issue with vehicle setup. With 45,227 recorded miles over approximately six years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,538 miles per annum. This represents a typical usage profile for this model, meaning the drivetrain and suspension components should be within their expected service life. There is no evidence of excessive mileage that would necessitate premature replacement of major mechanical assemblies, nor is there evidence of prolonged standing that typically leads to seized components. Prospective buyers must prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres, as the latest MOT highlights that all four are worn close to the legal limit, with specific mentions of edge wear on the front and rear offside and nearside tyres. Edge wear often points to incorrect wheel alignment or tracking, which can accelerate tyre degradation. Furthermore, the report of cracking and perishing on the nearside rear tyre indicates age-related rubber failure. During a test drive, listen for abnormal road noise and check for any steering pull that would confirm an alignment fault. Attention should also be paid to the braking system. Although the 2023 advisories regarding pitted rear discs and a binding nearside rear caliper were not noted in the most recent tests, electric vehicles are particularly susceptible to brake corrosion and caliper seizure due to the heavy reliance on regenerative braking. The buyer should check for brake shudder under deceleration and verify that the wheels do not remain warm to the touch after a short drive, which would indicate a binding caliper. Finally, ensure the 12V auxiliary battery is healthy and that the service history confirms the calendar-based maintenance of the cooling system and cabin filters.
