Our Verdict
Proceed with caution, focusing specifica
Pay close attention to the brake system. The September 2025 MOT failure specifically noted corroded rear brake discs and a corroded nearside front brake pipe; you should verify that these were fully replaced rather than superficially repaired. Check for any active Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warnings, as this was a failure point in the most recent test.
Review the service history for any evidence of suspension work. Given the track rod end issues noted in both 2023 and 2025, ensure that the steering components have been properly addressed. Negotiate the price based on the age of the tyres, as a worn nearside front tyre was flagged in 2024.
The 1.6L diesel engine provides a balance of torque and fuel economy suitable for a compact SUV. However, potential buyers should budget for higher-than-average maintenance costs associated with Jeep's suspension and braking components, as evidenced by the MOT history.
Annual costs will be comprised of diesel fuel, road tax based on the 2015 CO2 emissions, and insurance. Given the common failure points for this model, a dedicated maintenance fund is recommended to cover the replacement of ball joints and brake components.
Perform a detailed underbody inspection to check for further corrosion beyond the brake pipes mentioned in the 2025 MOT. Specifically, look for rust on the chassis and suspension mounting points. Inspect the track rod end ball joint dust covers on both sides, as these have been a recurring issue for this specific vehicle and the model in general.
Check the windscreen for any remaining chips or obstructions that were flagged during the 2025 failure. Finally, test the windscreen washer system and verify that the TPMS is functioning correctly on the dashboard display.
This black 2015 Jeep Renegade 1.6 Diesel has recorded 67,418 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history is relatively clean until September 2025, when the vehicle failed on several items including brake pipe and disc corrosion. There is a recurring pattern of steering-related advisories and failures, which aligns with aggregate data for this model.
The 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.
