Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Renault Zoe I Iconc Owners

These checks follow this Renault Zoe I Iconc's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Renault Zoe I Iconc.

• the tyre tread — “tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm”

  Check all four tyres cold, including the inner shoulder where wear hides — 1.6mm across the central three-quarters is the legal limit, and most testers fail at 1.6mm without argument.

• the windscreen — “windscreen damaged”

  Check the driver’s side of the screen within the swept area for chips and cracks; anything larger than 10mm in the driver’s central view is a fail. Most chips can be resin-repaired for far less than a new screen.

• tyre pressures and valves — “tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning or obviously inoperative”

  Set the pressures to the figures on the door pillar, not the tyre wall, and check the valves do not hiss. A leaking valve is a two-minute fix that fails a test.
