Our take on the Renault Zoe

A 2023 Renault Zoe typically advertises at €16,950 and a 2018 one at €8,950, so it loses roughly 12% of its value a year at that age. It's sold here mainly as a petrol. At the NCT, the 2015–2019 cars fail more often than other cars the same year, so a fresh NCT is worth paying a little more for.
