2015 Jeep Renegade 1.4L Petrol · EU65 UHT

The vehicle presents a history of recurring suspension and braking component wear, with the most recent test on 12 February 2026 confirming a pass but flagging a play in the steering rack inner joint(s). This follows a pattern of deterioration in the front track rod ends, where slight play was noted in January 2025 and dust cover deterioration has been a consistent minor fault since 2023. While the car passed its most recent MOT, the cumulative advisories on the steering geometry and the recent identification of play in the steering rack suggest a mechanical profile that requires attention to the front suspension assembly. Recorded at 138,415 miles, the vehicle has accumulated approximately 12,583 miles annually over an eleven-year lifespan, indicating high utilisation. This significant annual mileage accelerates the degradation of consumables such as brake discs and suspension linkages, which is reflected in the MOT history. The record shows a specific failure in February 2023 due to significantly worn rear brake discs, followed by advisories on front discs in the subsequent test, and a recurring tyre pressure warning across multiple years, all consistent with a vehicle subjected to regular, high-mileage driving. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, specifically listening for any clunking noises over bumps and checking for excessive play in the steering wheel when the vehicle is stationary. The MOT history indicates damaged dust covers on track rod ends and a recent advisory on the steering rack inner joint, which can lead to alignment issues and uneven tyre wear if left unaddressed. Regarding the braking system, the record highlights pitted and worn front brake discs; a test drive should be accompanied by a visual inspection of the discs and pads to ensure they meet safety standards, as the rear discs failed significantly in 2023. Finally, the persistent tyre pressure light requires investigation to verify the integrity of the sensors and the condition of the tyres, as the advisory history notes the rear tyre worn close to the legal limit in 2023.
