2022 Jeep Renegade S Mhev Auto 1.5L Petrol · GL72 AAV

The most recent MOT, carried out on 10 November 2025, resulted in a full pass with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards at that time. With only a single MOT entry available, the trend can be described as stable; there are no signs of deteriorating components or recurring failures, and the absence of advisories suggests that the previous owner kept the vehicle in a condition acceptable to the test centre. At just 9,435 miles on the odometer for a 2022 model, the Jeep Renegade averages roughly 2,350 miles per year, which is considerably below the UK average for a similarly aged vehicle. Such low annual mileage often points to light‑use duties or extended periods of storage rather than high‑stress driving. While reduced wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyres and suspension bushings is a benefit, prolonged inactivity can promote battery sulphation, tyre sidewall perishing, and the gradual onset of corrosion on chassis and exhaust components. The mileage figure also means that many service items are likely to be driven by calendar time rather than distance. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to age‑related items that are not mileage‑dependent. Inspect the tyre tread depth and sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or hardening, especially if the tyres have been on the car for several years; any signs of perishing warrant replacement regardless of tread wear. Examine the 12‑volt battery for terminal corrosion, low cranking power and electrolyte condition, and consider a load test or replacement if it is more than three years old. Check for surface rust on wheel arches, sills and under‑body panels, and verify that any rust is superficial rather than penetrating structural steel. Look for any fluid leaks – coolant, brake fluid, and oil – around the engine bay, suspension joints and under the vehicle, as seals can dry out when a car sits idle for long periods. Finally, request the full service book and verify that time‑based maintenance such as coolant replacement, brake fluid flush, and transmission fluid change have been logged at the recommended intervals (typically every 24 months for coolant and every 24‑30 months for brake fluid on a hybrid system). Confirm that the hybrid battery cooling system has been inspected and that the high‑voltage battery has no error codes. Even with a clean MOT, a thorough visual inspection, a test drive listening for any clunks from the suspension or shudder from the brakes, and a check of all fluid levels will give a clear picture of the vehicle’s current roadworthiness and any imminent service requirements.
