Buying a used Renault Zoe for London: what the MOT data shows
The Renault Zoes in this data were first registered between 2013 and 2021. 2020 was the most common year, with 6,004 tests (38% of the total), and half were registered in 2019 or later.
Every Zoe in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2021) passed first time 92% of the time at 19,504 miles on average, and the oldest (2013) passed 56% at 51,701 miles.
Whichever year you choose, check the Zoe's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were suspension: "ball joint excessively worn" (7.7% of tests); tyres: "has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords" (3.1%) and "has ply or cords exposed" (2.4%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 12.2% of tests.
Overall, 77% of Zoes passed first time, noticeably above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 29,238 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
