Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough insp
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system. The MOT history shows a repeated pattern of worn brake pads and pitted or scored discs across both front and rear axles. Ensure that any recent service has included a full brake overhaul, as the 2023 and 2024 records highlight significant wear in these areas.
Negotiate based on the recent history of tyre and brake maintenance. Check the current tread depth on all four tyres and look for any signs of perishing or cracking, particularly on the offside rear, as this was a recorded issue in 2024. Ask for evidence of recent brake disc and pad replacements to ensure the 2025 clean pass reflects a fully renewed system rather than just a passing grade on aging components.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Renegade is likely to offer decent fuel economy for long-distance driving, though costs will vary based on urban versus motorway use. Tax bands and insurance groups for this 2016 model vary depending on the specific trim level, so buyers should verify the exact group before purchase.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for regular replacement of consumables like tyres and brakes, which have appeared frequently in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are expected to fall within the £1,200-£1,500 range.
Focus heavily on the braking components. The MOT history specifically notes worn, pitted, or scored discs and thin brake pads in 2023 and 2024. A visual inspection of the discs for surface corrosion or uneven wear is essential.
Additionally, inspect the tyres thoroughly. The 2024 MOT flagged both front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and an offside rear tyre showing signs of damage or perishing. Check for uneven wear patterns which could indicate suspension issues, especially as ball joints and anti-roll bars are common failure points for this model aggregate.
This 2016 black Jeep Renegade diesel has covered 65,555 miles over its ten-year lifespan, which is slightly above the model average of 7,816 miles per year. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with brake components and tyres between 2021 and 2024. Although the 2025 MOT passed with no defects, the previous years indicate a tendency for consumables to reach the limit of legality.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 81.8% MOT pass rate, with common mechanical failures involving ball joints, tyres, and anti-roll bars.
