2020 Renault ZOE I Iconc Rapid Charge ZE 50 Electric · YP70 AEM

This Renault Zoe has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with all three most recent tests—conducted in September 2023, 2024, and 2025—resulting in clean passes at 2,756, 3,595, and 4,571 miles respectively. The absence of defects or advisories across these intervals suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of recorded faults does not preclude hidden wear. The most recent test, just ten months ago at 4,571 miles, confirms the car remains compliant with current UK roadworthiness standards, but the low mileage means no recent wear-and-tear indicators have been formally assessed. The recorded mileage of 4,571 miles over five years—approximately 762 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Zoe’s electric nature, which typically sees higher usage in urban settings. The incremental mileage increases of around 800 miles between tests (from 2,756 to 3,595, then to 4,571) imply either very light usage or prolonged periods of storage. Such patterns can accelerate degradation in components like suspension bushes, battery health, or tyre integrity due to prolonged immobility. The lack of intermediate MOTs or service records further complicates assessing whether routine checks—such as fluid top-ups or brake pad wear—have been consistently performed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are prone to deterioration even with low mileage. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be examined for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Tyre tread depth, despite passing MOTs, warrants verification, as failing twice on tread in prior tests (if any) would have been noted; instead, the current record suggests they may have been recently replaced or the car has not accumulated sufficient wear. Finally, the high-voltage battery and its cooling system—critical for electric vehicles—should be checked for any signs of degradation or corrosion, as these are not routinely covered by MOT testing.
