2015 Jeep Renegade 1.4L Petrol · LB15 WGD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred attention regarding suspension and consumables. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 89,517 miles passed, it carried significant advisories for worn front tyres and deteriorated rear suspension arm bushes. This indicates a worsening progression of mechanical wear compared to the 2022 test, as components are being operated near the point of failure rather than replaced on a preventative schedule. At 89,517 miles, the Jeep Renegade has averaged approximately 8,138 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The mileage accumulation appears steady between annual inspections, with roughly 2,700 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests and approximately 3,400 miles between 2023 and 2024. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary, which explains the degradation of rubber components noted in the MOT records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry. The record flagged damaged track rod end dust covers and suspension arm bushes in 2023, and the trailing arm bushes returned as worn in 2025. These issues often lead to poor handling and accelerated uneven tyre wear. Furthermore, the split shock absorber protection boots across three corners noted in 2023 should be checked for fluid leaks, which would indicate imminent damper failure. The tyre history is particularly concerning, as front tyres were flagged as reaching the legal limit in both 2024 and 2025 without replacement. This suggests a potential alignment issue or a habit of neglect regarding basic maintenance. The buyer should also verify that the front disc backing plates, which were insecure in 2023, have been properly secured and are not vibrating against the discs.
