2016 Jeep Renegade 1.4L Petrol · CK16 LDO

The 2016 Jeep Renegade presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass at 66,578 miles on 18 June 2025. The most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating that the vehicle is currently in sound mechanical order. The maintenance trend over the past three years is clearly improving. A failure on 17 June 2023 at 53,947 miles flagged a worn nearside front lower anti-roll bar ball joint and slight play in the offside front track rod end, both of which were rectified before the clean pass on 19 June 2023. A subsequent failure on 18 June 2025 at 66,578 miles for a deteriorated nearside front track rod end dust cover was also resolved on the same day, resulting in an immediate pass. This pattern of prompt repairs followed by clean passes suggests attentive ownership rather than neglect. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a vehicle of this age. Between 18 June 2024 at 63,197 miles and 18 June 2025 at 66,578 miles, the vehicle covered 3,381 miles, which is below the annual average of approximately 6,658 miles calculated over its ten-year life. The earlier period from 17 June 2023 at 53,947 miles to 18 June 2024 at 63,197 miles saw a more active 9,250 miles, suggesting a shift to lighter use in the most recent year. There are no significant gaps in the MOT record that would raise concerns about long-term standing or mileage irregularities. A buyer conducting an in-person inspection should focus on the front suspension and steering components, which have been the source of all recorded defects. The nearside front track rod end ball joint dust cover failed twice, once in 2023 and again in 2025, indicating this area may be vulnerable to dirt ingress and premature wear. The offside front track rod end showed slight play in 2023, and the nearside lower anti-roll bar ball joint was excessively worn at the same test. While all were repaired, a physical check for play, perished boots, and uneven tyre wear on both front corners remains prudent. The offside front tyre was noted as worn close to the legal limit and wearing on its edge in 2023, so a thorough inspection of current tyre condition and wheel alignment is advisable to confirm that suspension geometry is correct and that no underlying wear issues have returned.
