2016 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · FE16 EVM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on June 4, 2026 at 67,850 miles passed, yet it introduced new advisories regarding perishing tyres and an insecure nearside undertray. This follows a pattern where minor defects, such as the damaged offside rear reflector, persist across multiple testing cycles, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults once they threaten to cause an MOT failure. At a recorded mileage of 67,850 miles over a ten-year span, the Renegade averages approximately 6,785 miles per year. This usage is consistent with low-to-moderate annual driving. The data shows steady intervals between tests, with roughly 1,200 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 1,033 miles between May 2025 and June 2026. While low mileage generally preserves mechanical components like the drivetrain, it increases the risk of rubber components degrading from age. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension components, as the record shows the nearside front track rod end ball joint dust cover was flagged for deterioration in 2024 and failed for excessive damage in 2025. The recurring issue with loose undertrays also requires a physical check to ensure they are properly fastened and not catching on road. Furthermore, the advisory for cracking or perishing on the tyre sidewalls in the 2026 test indicates the tyres are reaching the end of their structural life regardless of remaining tread depth.
