2018 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · HT18 LDZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding tyre-related defects. While the most recent test on 23 May 2026 at 34,947 miles passed, the tester flagged multiple advisories concerning tyre condition. This represents a regression from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2023, indicating that rubber components are now being neglected despite the overall mechanical passing. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,368 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage between June 2022 at 18,722 miles and May 2026 at 34,947 miles, though the gap of only 4,803 miles over the final year suggests the vehicle sits stationary or undergoes very short trips. This low annual mileage often leads to age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear, which aligns with the cracking and perishing noted in the most recent MOT tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all four tyres, as recurring advisories for perishing and uneven wear suggest the owner is not proactive with replacements. The nearsside front tyre being worn on the edge in both 2024 and 2026 indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require attention. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or seizing, as these are common issues on vehicles that remain stationary for long periods.
