2015 Jeep Renegade 1.4L Petrol · CA15 WFJ

The 2015 Jeep Renegade holds a current MOT valid from 6 August 2025 at 112,600 miles, passing with only a defective front wiper blade. The maintenance trend over the past three years is broadly improving. The 2023 July failure flagged a fractured nearside front coil spring, a damaged rear seat belt, and a malfunctioning engine MIL, all of which were rectified before the August 2023 pass. The 2024 August failure addressed excessive play in both front track rod ends and rear suspension bushes, along with a broken bonnet latch and minor exhaust leak, all subsequently repaired for the immediate retest pass. The most recent test shows no new advisories or failures, indicating the owner has been addressing serious mechanical defects promptly rather than ignoring them. The mileage progression is consistent and well-documented. The vehicle recorded 86,066 miles in July 2023, 98,808 miles in August 2024, and 112,600 miles in August 2025. This represents roughly 13,700 miles over the most recent twelve-month period, up from approximately 12,700 miles in the prior year. Annual mileage sits around 10,200 miles overall, which is typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of standing. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and steering components. The 2023 and 2024 records show a clear pattern of wear in suspension arm bushes, track rod ends, and a previously fractured coil spring. Although these were repaired, the repeated nature of bush wear on both sides of the vehicle suggests the suspension has endured significant stress. Check for uneven tyre wear, clunking from the front end, and any play in the steering rack inner joints, which were flagged with play in 2023. The 2024 advisory for a minor front exhaust gas leak also warrants a close visual check of the exhaust manifold and downpipe flanges for fresh staining or soot deposits. The bonnet latch was broken twice in 2024, so verify the secondary catch operates correctly and the primary mechanism releases smoothly.
