2016 Renault Twingo 0.9L Petrol · WM65 GSZ

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward neglected consumable components. While it passed its latest test in July 2025 at 60,565 miles, several advisories emerged that were absent in previous years. This indicates a transition from a period of clean records between 2021 and 2023 to a current state where wear-related issues are beginning to require attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban runabout, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between August 2023 at 51,332 miles and July 2025 at 60,565 miles, the car covered 9,233 miles. This low rate of use explains the lack of major mechanical failures, but the presence of perishing tyres and pitted brake discs in the recent test suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods or undergo short trips that lead to age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system and tyre condition. The July 2025 test flagged both nearside and offside front brake discs as being worn, pitted, and scored with signs of corrosion. These are typical symptoms of moisture-induced from infrequent use. Furthermore, the recurring advisories for cracking and perishing on the front tyres across both 2024 and 2025 indicate the rubber compound is reaching the end of its life regardless of tread depth. The inner edge wear noted on the offside front tyre in 2025 also suggests a potential alignment issue or worn geometry that should be verified to prevent premature replacement costs.
