2018 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Petrol · DS18 ADV

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, following its most recent test on February 4 2026 at 49,244 miles where it passed with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous two years. While the history shows a pattern of immediate rectification after failures, the subsequent clean passes without any advisories suggest that the owner is proactive in identifying and resolving flagged mechanical issues to bring the car back up to legal standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,156 miles per year. Between January 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 4,119 miles, indicating a period of relatively lower usage compared to the 13,964 miles clocked between February 2025 and February 2026. This fluctuation in annual mileage does not appear to have caused any mechanical strain on the drivetrain or suspension, though the recent periods of lower use can sometimes lead to brake fluid moisture or battery degradation if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the recorded failures in early 2024 and early 2025. Although the MOT record does not detail the specific reasons for those failures, the recurring nature of re-tests often indicates issues with lighting bulbs, tyre pressure, or minor exhaust leaks. Given the lack of advisories in the two most recent tests, the structural integrity and brake components appear stable, but a manual check of the suspension bushes and coil spring corrosion remains advisable to ensure no hidden wear is developing beneath the surface.
