2016 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · FD66 PYG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in brake system upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 86,231 miles passed, it flagged all four brake pads as thin and both front and rear discs. This represents a progression from the November 2024 test where only the front discs were noted as worn. The recurring nature of these advisories suggests the owner is only replacing brake components when they approach the MOT failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. There is steady usage between tests, such as the 8,832-mile interval between November 2023 and November 2024, and the 6,631-mile interval between late 2024 and late 2025. This regularity indicates the car does not suffer from long periods of standing, which helps prevent internal component corrosion, though the consistent mileage explains the accelerated wear on the friction materials seen in the more recent records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly and suspension components. The persistent pitting and scoring on the discs since 2023 indicate potential moisture ingress or poor-quality parts, which can lead to binding calipers if not addressed. The 2021 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear suggests a need to check the alignment and inspect suspension bushes for play or being out of specification. Additionally, the loose nearside mirror mentioned in both 2023 and 2024 should be checked for structural damage to the mounting housing to ensure it is securely fastened.
