I’m looking at a 2018 Renault Zoe 41 Intens, first registered in August 2019, with 92,000 km on the clock. The car has a history that’s making me hesitate.
Here’s what I know:
-
New Motor
The seller bought the car three months ago because the original motor was faulty. They replaced it with one that’s only done 4,000 km. There’s paperwork for the motor itself, but not for the installation. -
Inspection Issues
Back in August 2023, at 69,000 km (when it was with the previous owner), it failed inspection due to axle and suspension problems. These were fixed, and it passed a reinspection two weeks later. The repairs are noted in the maintenance log.
The seller says they’re selling it because their spouse finds charging too inconvenient for long commutes.
It’s a well-equipped car and has new parts, which could be good for longevity. But the motor replacement and past axle issues make me cautious. Would you take the risk? What should I ask or check before deciding?
