2019 Jeep Renegade 1.3L Petrol · AU69 FPD

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-19 recorded a failure for both front headlamps having incorrect aim, which is a safety-critical issue affecting visibility. This is the only significant defect in the last four years, though a minor fault in the offside rear fog lamp was noted in 2024-09-13. No other defects were recorded in the 2023 or 2022 MOTs, indicating a generally clean history apart from the headlamp issue. The pattern of defects suggests a single, isolated problem with headlamp alignment rather than a recurring mechanical failure. The 2025 failure occurred at the same mileage as the 2024 pass, implying the issue may have developed between those dates. However, no further defects were reported after the 2025 failure, which could indicate the problem was resolved or that the vehicle has remained in acceptable condition since. The vehicle’s low mileage of 12,145 miles over seven years (roughly 1,735 miles per year) is significantly below average for its age. This could reflect light usage or extended periods of inactivity, which might lead to issues like battery degradation, fluid stagnation, or rubber component aging. However, the MOT history does not confirm these concerns, so the mileage signal remains ambiguous without additional evidence. The primary risk lies in the headlamp aim, which must be corrected to meet legal standards.
