2018 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Petrol · KE67 EXG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The latest test in October 2025 at 72,367 miles passed but was flagged with multiple advisories regarding all four tyres being worn to the legal limit and thinning brake pads. This indicates that while the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, the previous owner was delaying routine consumable replacements until they approached failure thresholds, a pattern that accelerated in the most recent year. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 45,405 miles and October 2024 at 66,084 miles, the Jeep covered over 21,000 miles, suggesting a steady usage profile. The failure in October 2023 at 54,214 miles due to insufficient front tyre tread depth further supports the observation of regular use but a lack of basic preventative inspections between annual inspections. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension assembly, specifically focusing on the offside rear suspension arm bush which was flagged in October 2024 at 66,084 miles. Although this did not result in a failure at that time, rubber components on Jeeps often suffer rapid degradation if not monitored. Given the recent advisories for thin pads and worn tyres, a thorough check of the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring is necessary to ensure the thinning pads have not damaged the rotors.
