2017 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · G2 RFG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on August 7, 2025, 41,589 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the immediate failure on that same day indicates a specific mechanical oversight. The tester flagged the rear brake discs as being significantly and obviously worn, but the subsequent pass on the re-test confirms the owner addressed the defect promptly, suggesting a reactive approach to maintenance when safety issues are identified. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 23,238 miles and the 2025 test at 41,589 miles, the car covered roughly 18,000 miles over three years. This consistent low-use pattern typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the car sits stationary for extended periods between uses. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the replacement discs were fitted with quality components and that the calipers are not seizing. Given the low mileage, it is also vital to inspect the suspension bushes and sidewalls for cracking or age-related perish, which often occurs before tread wear on older vehicles. Checking the chassis for any early surface corrosion is prudent, as the MOT record does not yet flag structural integrity issues, but the age of the vehicle remains a factor for underbody oxidation.
