2022 Renault ZOE Iconic Boost Charge EV 50 Electric · YA72 DHE

This Renault Zoe, tested most recently on 5 December 2025 at just 21,530 miles, holds a clean MOT record with no defects or advisories recorded. The absence of any recurring issues or failing components suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level without significant mechanical neglect. However, the test date is now over seven months out of date, placing the vehicle beyond the standard 12-month MOT validity window. While no technical faults were logged, the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake components—which may not yet have manifested visibly but could develop over time. The recorded mileage of 21,530 miles over approximately four years equates to an unusually low average of around 5,382 miles per annum, well below the UK average for this vehicle segment. Such low mileage typically indicates either very light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate degradation of fluid-sealed components like power steering pumps, battery health in the electric system, or even minor corrosion from moisture accumulation. The sparse MOT history—comprising only a single test—prevents a clear trend analysis, but the lack of intermediate checks raises questions about whether routine servicing (such as brake fluid refreshes or suspension inspections) has been consistently performed. Given the clean MOT pass but the vehicle’s age and low mileage, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension geometry, particularly the rear subframe and coil spring condition, as these are common points of wear in EVs due to weight distribution. The brakes, despite no recorded faults, should be examined for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, as binding was not explicitly ruled out in the MOT. The electric system’s battery health—though not testable via MOT—warries scrutiny, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods disconnected. Finally, check for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and underbody mounts, as low mileage does not guarantee absence of environmental exposure.
