Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a focus on imme
The primary focus for a buyer should be the cost of immediate replacements. The July 2026 MOT specifically flags worn front brake discs, thin rear brake pads, and three tyres that are either worn close to the legal limit or damaged. These items should be used as primary negotiation points to reduce the purchase price.
Beyond the MOT data, ensure you verify the service history for the timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical maintenance items for the 1.6L diesel engine at this mileage. Check that the vehicle has been used for a mix of driving cycles to ensure the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has not been compromised by exclusively short trips.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for better fuel efficiency than the petrol alternatives, making it more suitable for higher annual mileages. However, owners should budget for the specific wear patterns seen in this model's aggregate data, particularly regarding suspension and tyre replacement.
Annual costs will include road tax based on its 2017 diesel emissions bracket and insurance. Given the recorded history of suspension and tyre failures, maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for a small SUV. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,500.
Perform a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and brakes. The MOT history explicitly mentions a nail in the offside rear tyre, worn front tyres, and degraded brake discs and pads; verify if these have been replaced since July 2026.
Pay close attention to the steering and suspension. This specific vehicle has a history of failures involving the offside front track rod end and the anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. These align with the top failure reasons for the Renegade model overall. Listen for knocks or clunks during a test drive, particularly when turning or driving over uneven surfaces.
This white 2017 Jeep Renegade 1.6L diesel has covered 94,688 miles, which is above the model's average annual mileage of 7,816. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of tyre issues and suspension wear, including failures for track rod ends and anti-roll bar components. The most recent test in July 2026 passed but left several advisories regarding the condition of the brakes and tyres.
The Jeep Renegade has an average MOT pass rate of 81.8%, with ball joints, tyres, and anti-roll bars identified as the most frequent failure points.
