2015 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · CV15 YCJ

The Jeep Renegade holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 9 April 2026, though the vehicle’s maintenance trend shows signs of increasing mechanical fatigue. While the most recent test resulted in a pass, the initial failure on 8 April 2026 highlights critical issues with the steering rack and suspension that required immediate intervention. The presence of recurring steering and suspension faults suggests that the vehicle is currently experiencing accelerated wear, moving beyond simple consumable maintenance into more significant component degradation. With a recorded mileage of 155,841 miles over eleven years, this vehicle has seen heavy usage, averaging approximately 14,167 miles per annum. The accumulation of roughly 22,500 miles between January 2025 and April 2026 confirms that the car remains in active, high-frequency service. This consistent, high-mileage profile typically places substantial strain on the drivetrain and chassis, and the MOT record reflects this through a steady stream of wear-related advisories that have persisted since early 2024. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the steering rack and front suspension geometry, as the play in the inner joints and the history of fractured coil springs indicate these systems are under constant stress. The 2024 record noted corrosion on the Macpherson struts and wear in multiple suspension bushings, which suggests that the entire undercarriage may require a comprehensive overhaul to restore handling precision. Given the history of binding or damaged tyres and recurring steering play, any potential purchaser must verify the condition of the steering rack boots and ensure that the recent repairs were completed with high-quality components rather than temporary fixes.
