Renault Zoe MOT failures

Tyres is the most common reason a Renault Zoe fails its MOT, appearing on 40.0% of failed tests. A failed test can have defects in more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%. 6.2% of Renault Zoe tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.

Most common Renault Zoe MOT defects and advisories

The single most common reason a Renault Zoe failed its MOT in 2025 was “Suspension arms: ball joint excessively worn”, on 21.3% of 5,760 failed tests. 41.3% of tests ended with at least one advisory, a problem to watch that did not fail the test; the most common was “Tread depth: worn close to legal limit or worn on edge”. The same fault on any wheel or side counts once.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide) come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
• Electric cars produce no exhaust CO2; range and miles per kWh are VCA’s official figures.
• VCA’s data has no Renault versions for 2019 to 2020, so the years listed may leave out years the Renault Zoe was on sale.
• A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “New ZOE”, “Zoe”, “New Zoe”, “ZOE”. How we use VCA’s figures.

All 6 Renault Zoe recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Renault Zoe. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
