2019 Jeep Renegade 1.0L Petrol · GD19 HCF

The most recent MOT on 26 May 2026 resulted in a pass, but the tester noted several defects: the nearside side repeater lens is defective (although it does not affect light output), the windscreen is damaged without impairing the driver’s view, the TPMS warning light is illuminated, and both rear tyres are worn close to the legal limit with edge wear. A clear pattern emerges from the history. The TPMS light has been on at every test since May 2023, indicating a persistent issue with the tyre‑pressure monitoring system – either a sensor fault, a battery problem, or a slow leak. The nearside side repeater lens has been recorded as defective from May 2024 onward, suggesting a recurring fault with that component. An under‑tray fitted beneath the vehicle has been present since the May 2023 test, which can hide corrosion or damage to underlying parts. In the May 2025 test a brake disc was noted as worn, pitted or scored with surface rust, showing the beginning of wear on the braking system. The latest test adds tyre wear to the list, which was not previously mentioned. Overall, the trend is worsening: each successive test adds new or repeats existing defects, moving from a clean sheet in May 2022 to multiple issues in the most recent test. The recorded mileage of 30,735 miles on a 2019 vehicle equates to roughly 4,391 miles per year, which is low for its age. Low mileage can reflect light use or long periods of standing; standing can lead to tyre ageing, brake disc corrosion, and suspension deterioration even when wear‑related mileage is low.
