Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
The most pressing concern is the 'not excessive' oil leak that has appeared on the last three MOT certificates; you should have a mechanic identify the source of this leak to determine if it is a simple seal or a more costly engine issue. Additionally, investigate the 2024 MOT failure regarding the 'left hand drive head light' to ensure the current lighting system is fully compliant with UK regulations and was not a temporary fix.
Check the service records for any evidence of suspension overhauls. Given the model's aggregate data and this specific car's history of track rod end and anti-roll bar play, ensure these components have been replaced rather than just patched. Negotiate the price based on the immediate need for new front tyres, as both the nearside and offside front tyres were flagged as worn or damaged in July 2026.
The 1368cc petrol engine typically offers moderate fuel economy for a vehicle of this size and weight. Insurance groups for the Renegade are generally mid-range, though this can vary based on the driver's profile.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the specific weak points identified in the model's aggregate data, such as ball joints and anti-roll bars. Expect to budget for more frequent suspension component replacements compared to a standard hatchback.
Focus your inspection on the front end of the vehicle. Check the tread depth and condition of both front tyres and the clarity of the offside front indicator, as these were highlighted in the most recent MOT. Examine the nearside front mirror for the damage noted in multiple tests.
Under the bonnet, look for signs of oil seepage around the engine block, as the MOT history confirms a persistent leak. Finally, have a professional check the play in the anti-roll bar ball joints and track rod ends, as these are known model weak points and have previously caused failures or advisories for this specific registration.
This 2016 black Jeep Renegade has covered 52,827 miles, which is below the model average of 7,816 miles per year. The MOT history reveals one failure in 2024 and a recurring oil leak noted in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests. There is also a pattern of wear regarding steering and suspension components, consistent with wider model trends.
The Jeep Renegade has an average MOT pass rate of 81.8%, with ball joints, tyres, and anti-roll bars being the most frequent causes of failure.
