2015 Jeep Renegade 1.4L Petrol · DV15 KVS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT on 12 December 2025 at 59,615 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs following a significant failure just one day prior to that test. The tester identified a failed nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, a worn offside front tyre, and a structural failure/separation on the nearside rear tyre. While these issues were rectified to secure the pass, the failure suggests that components are only addressed when they reach a legal failure point. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,420 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns with the mileage increasing from 34,713 miles in February 2023 to 59,615 miles by December 2025. The gap of over 7,500 miles between January 2025 and December 2025 indicates a period of higher relative use, though low annual mileage often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components and brake hardware, which aligns with the age-related issues noted in the inspection. A buyer must inspect the suspension and braking system with scrutiny. The January 2025 test flagged pitted and scored nearside rear brake discs, a condition often exacerbated by the vehicle sitting stationary for long periods. Given the failure of the anti-roll bar ball joint in late 2025, a thorough check of all suspension bushes, linkages, and dampers is required to identify further play or perished rubber. The structural failure of the rear tyre also indicates that the tyres may be age-related rather than just tread-worn, necessitating a check of the manufacturing dates on the remaining rubber.
