2018 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · KX68 KCG

The 2018 Jeep Renegade presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 10 March 2026 at 47,659 miles with zero defects recorded. That is a notable shift. Between September 2022 and September 2023, the tester repeatedly flagged tyres worn to or near the legal limit, yet those issues have since disappeared from the record. The most recent two consecutive tests, April 2024 and March 2026, both passed without advisories or failures, suggesting the current keeper has kept on top of basic consumable upkeep. At roughly 5,957 miles per year over eight years, this is a low-mileage vehicle. The annual test-to-mileage progression tells a consistent story: 18,852 miles in September 2022, 29,268 in September 2023, 34,311 in April 2024, 41,834 in March 2025, and 47,659 in March 2026. That is a steady accumulation of between roughly 5,500 and 10,500 miles per year, with the higher jump between September 2022 and September 2023 likely reflecting a busier period of use. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record that would suggest the mileage has been tampered with or that the car sat unused for extended periods. The recurring tyre wear advisories in 2022 and 2023 point to a pattern worth investigating in person. Repeated edge wear on the nearside front and offside rear could indicate suspension geometry issues, worn tracking, or simply a previous owner who neglected wheel alignment and rotation. With those faults now resolved, a buyer should still have the front and rear suspension inspected for worn bushes, tracking arms, and drop links. Uneven tyre wear at relatively low mileage can also hint at aggressive driving or repeated short trips that prevent tyres from reaching optimal operating temperature. Check the inner and outer edges of all four tyres for any sign of the previous wear pattern returning. Beyond the tyre history, the clean 2026 result is reassuring, but a physical inspection should focus on structural integrity given the vehicle's age. Examine the underside for corrosion on the subframe, suspension mounting points, and around the rear arches, as these are common weak points on the Renegade platform. Brake discs and pads should be measured for thickness, and the handbrake mechanism checked for binding, since the low annual mileage means components may have deteriorated from standing use rather than wear. A short test drive over uneven surfaces will quickly reveal any knocking from the front end that the MOT record has not yet captured.
