2017 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Petrol · GU17 LWL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward minor mechanical and electrical issues. The most recent test in August 2025 at 60,165 miles passed despite a newly identified central front lower oil leak and an inoperative offside rear registration plate lamp. While the leak was deemed non-excessive by the tester, it indicates the beginning of a seal or gasket failure that requires attention before it escalates into a more significant fault. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 44,417 miles and August 2024 at 54,903 miles, the car covered roughly 10,500 miles. A notable lapse occurred in August 2024 when the vehicle failed its initial test at 54,827 miles due to a supplementary restraint system warning lamp. This fault was rectified within six days, suggesting the owner is reactive to immediate safety-related failures. A buyer should conduct a close visual inspection of the engine bay to identify the source of the oil leak flagged in the 2025 record, as persistent leaks can degrade surrounding rubber components or lead to fire-related risks over time. The recurring failure of registration plate lamps in both 2023 and 2025 suggests minor wiring issues or poor bulb maintenance that was never permanently addressed. Since no structural corrosion or suspensionrelated defects were recorded across the history, the focus should remain on verifying the SRS system remains fault-free and ensuring the oil leak is stable.
