2015 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · EF65 UDD

The overall roadworthiness status is currently failing, as evidenced by the single MOT failure recorded on 2026-03-23 at 74,962 miles. This failure was triggered by a series of specific mechanical defects, including excessive wear on the front oil seal, a ball joint dust cover that no longer blocks dirt ingress, and non-functioning position and nearside front position lamps. The test was conducted at 52,000 miles, which is significantly lower than the later 69,000-mile test on 2025-03-13, indicating that the current condition is not representative of the vehicle's full service life. The maintenance history reveals a clear pattern of rapid mileage accumulation over the past two years, with the vehicle failing on 2024-03-20 at 62,586 miles. This gap in records suggests that the owner skipped basic upkeep, such as regular tyre changes or brake inspections, which is a critical indicator of potential future failure modes. The vehicle has not maintained a consistent operational pattern, and the lack of a passing record at 69,000 miles after a single failure points to a lack of proactive maintenance that would have prevented the current condition. Given the recurring faults, particularly the structural integrity of the suspension and the mechanical condition of the front track rod end ball joints, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs. The lack of a passing record at 69,000 miles indicates that the vehicle has not been serviced at a level that would prevent the development of these structural risks, such as rust or corrosion. A thorough visual inspection is required to determine if the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension components are acceptable for continued use.
