2016 Jeep Renegade 1.4L Petrol · GP16 SPX

The Jeep Renegade presents a stable roadworthiness record in its most recent MOT tests, with the March 2026 inspection at 35,345 miles showing no defects—an outcome mirrored in the three preceding annual tests. The absence of advisories or failures in the past three years suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained in critical areas, including brakes, suspension, and structural integrity. The only recent concern stems from the 2022 test, where tyre wear and damage were flagged across all four wheels, though this appears to have been addressed promptly, as no tyre-related issues resurfaced in subsequent tests. This consistency indicates a vehicle that has either been stored or used lightly, with no signs of neglect or escalating mechanical deterioration. The mileage data reveals a remarkably low annual average of around 3,534 miles over the past decade, well below the typical UK average for a vehicle of this age. Such minimal usage could imply the car has been kept for occasional use or stored for extended periods, which may explain the lack of wear on many components. There are no sudden spikes or drops in mileage between tests, with increments remaining steady—approximately 280 miles per year—between March 2023 and March 2026. This pattern reduces the likelihood of accelerated wear on consumables like brake pads or suspension bushes, though it also means some components may not have been fully exercised, potentially masking latent issues. For a buyer, the primary focus should be on verifying the condition of the tyres, given the 2022 MOT highlighted widespread cracking and uneven wear across all four. Even if the tyres have since been replaced, inspecting the wheel rims for corrosion or damage from uneven wear is prudent. The absence of brake-related advisories or failures in recent tests is positive, but a thorough check of the brake discs, calipers, and fluid condition is still advisable, particularly if the vehicle has been stored. Suspension components, such as coil springs and bushings, should also be examined for signs of dry rot or excessive play, as low-mileage vehicles can still suffer from age-related degradation if not regularly driven. The windscreen damage noted in 2022, while not affecting safety, may warrant inspection for any subsequent chips or cracks that could compromise visibility.
