Renault Austral Hybrid DEAD at Auction! 0% HV Battery, Engine Rattle & £1,350 Fix

Another auction gamble in the workshop! This time, a nearly new Renault Austral Hybrid arrived on recovery — no drive, no gears, warning lights everywhere, and even the mileage missing from the dash. Our diagnostics revealed the high voltage battery was completely discharged, showing 0% state of charge, and some strange error codes. We had no choice but to drop the massive HV battery, strip it down, and attempt a careful recharge. ⚡ But things weren’t that simple… rattling noises, transmission faults, and mystery error codes kept us guessing whether this Austral was going to be a win or a total loss. After hours of charging, testing, and road driving, the Renault surprised us — smooth, balanced battery, and no errors returning. From auction write-off to road-ready, this gamble actually paid off! Repair cost: £? Auction purchase: ~£15,000 🚗 Would you take this gamble at an auction?
