2016 Jeep Renegade 1.4L Petrol · LG16 ADX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test conducted in March 2022 at 81,220 miles passed despite advisories for surface pitting and scoring on both rear brake discs. While these were not deemed critical failures at the time, they suggest that the braking system was reaching the end of its effective life or suffering from corrosion during stationary periods. The recorded mileage of 81,220 miles over ten years reflects an average usage of approximately 8,100 miles annually, which aligns with typical national averages for this age. There is a significant gap in the data between the June 2020 test at 69,633 miles and the March 2022 test at 81,220 miles, representing over 11,000 miles driven in under two years. This period shows consistent use, though the lack of interim records makes it difficult to track the wear rate of components during that interval. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear braking assembly to check if the pitting noted in 2022 has progressed to deep structural thinning or causing binding calipers. The 2020 advisory regarding an offside rear tyre worn to the edge often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that may not have been fully addressed. Given the previous issues with child seats obstructing belt inspections in 2019 and 2020, a physical check of the seat bolting and mounting points is necessary to ensure no hidden damage occurred during those periods.
