2016 JEEP RENEGADE1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 86,769 miles passed despite an advisory for front brake pads wearing thin. This is the exact same fault recorded during the February 2025 test at 79,217 miles. The persistence of this issue suggests that the previous owner ignores brake component wear until they reach the MOT advisory threshold, rather than performing scheduled preventative replacements. At 86,769 miles, the Jeep Renegade has averaged approximately 8,677 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle. The data shows consistent annual mileage, with roughly 7,500 miles driven between February 2025 and 2026, and approximately 9,400 miles in the year prior. This steady rate of travel indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which reduces the risk of seized calipers or perished rubber components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking system. The recurring thinning of the pads across three years indicates a high likelihood that the brake discs are scoring or reaching their minimum thickness limit now. Additionally, the history shows recurring issues with uneven tyre wear in both the 2023 and 2024 tests. This often points to misaligned issues or worn suspension bushes and ball joints that should be checked to prevent premature replacement of new tyres.
