2016 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · AE66 OAP

The vehicle has passed its last five MOT tests, though the most recent inspection on 20 October 2025 shows an increasing number of advisories compared to the clean result in 2024. The maintenance trend appears to be moving towards more frequent consumable and mechanical wear issues. The 2025 test flagged three separate advisories: an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, and rear brake drums that are worn, pitted, or scored. The recorded mileage of 84,872 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,487 miles per year. The MOT history provides a continuous annual record from 2021 through 2025, showing no significant gaps in testing. While the mileage accumulation is steady, the frequency of advisories has shifted from two in 2022 and 2023 to three in the most recent 2025 test. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically the rear brake drums, to determine if the pitting and scoring noted in October 2025 require immediate replacement. The suspension should be checked for further deterioration of the anti-roll bar linkages and other bushes, as the 2025 advisory suggests the onset of mechanical play. The history also shows recurring advisories for oil leaks in both the 2022 and 2023 tests. Although the 2025 record does not repeat this specific advisory, the previous mentions suggest a persistent, non-excessive leak that warrants a thorough engine bay inspection. Finally, the repeated advisories regarding tyres worn on the edges or close to the legal limit in 2022, 2023, and 2025 indicate a pattern of nearing minimum tread depth that should be verified against the current tyre condition.
