2015 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · CA15 WFG

The 2015 Jeep Renegade presents a mixed maintenance picture, with a clear upward trend in the severity of defects identified at its most recent test attempts. The most recent MOT, dated 13 November 2025 at 69,767 miles, passed with zero defects, indicating all identified faults were promptly rectified. However, the preceding failure on 12 November 2025 at 69,765 miles revealed a cluster of significant wear items, including both front tyres worn to the legal limit on their inner edges, an offside rear tyre below the 1.6mm minimum tread depth, and both rear brake discs described as significantly and obviously worn. The tester also flagged a non-functioning offside front position lamp. The fact that these issues were resolved within 24 hours suggests either a pre-test repair spree or that the vehicle was presented in poor condition initially. Looking further back, the November 2024 test at 63,407 miles passed but carried advisories for both front tyres worn on their edges and both rear inner brake discs worn, pitted, or scored. This pattern of recurring rear brake disc wear and uneven front tyre wear across consecutive years points to a gradual deterioration rather than a sudden failure, and the 2025 failure suggests the underlying causes were not fully addressed between tests. The mileage progression tells a consistent story of regular use. The vehicle accumulated 8,076 miles between November 2022 and November 2023, then 5,148 miles in the following year to November 2024, before jumping 6,360 miles in just over a year to the November 2025 test. The current recorded mileage of 69,767 miles against an 11-year age gives an annual average of roughly 6,342 miles, which sits comfortably within typical use for a vehicle of this age. There are no suspicious gaps or implausible drops in the odometer record, and the testing pattern shows annual checks have been maintained consistently each November, suggesting the previous owner kept the vehicle in regular annual use rather than letting it sit idle for extended periods. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front suspension geometry and wheel alignment. The repeated inner edge wear on both front tyres across the 2024 and 2025 tests is a classic indicator of excessive negative camber or worn suspension bushes and tracking misalignment. If the tyres were simply replaced without correcting the underlying alignment fault, the new rubber will deteriorate in the same uneven pattern. The rear brake discs have appeared as a recurring concern for at least two consecutive test cycles, with the condition escalating from worn and pitted in 2024 to significantly and obviously worn by 2025. A physical inspection should check whether the rear calipers are binding, as this is a common cause of premature disc wear on this platform, and verify the condition of the rear suspension components including trailing arm bushes and shock absorbers. The TPMS warning lamp noted in 2022 at 50,331 miles also warrants a check that the system is functioning correctly and that no sensor faults persist.
