2016 Jeep Renegade 1.4L Petrol · LL66 OHK

The 2016 Jeep Renegade presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 5 January 2026 at 53,058 miles passing with zero defects. Every recorded test in the history, spanning from November 2021 through January 2026, has passed with no advisories or failures. This is an unusually strong record for a ten-year-old vehicle and suggests consistent, attentive upkeep by previous owners. There is no evidence of recurring faults, worsening mechanical issues, or deferred repairs across the entire documented timeline. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of light, steady use. The vehicle has covered approximately 5,300 miles per year, well below the UK average. Between the November 2021 test at 29,811 miles and the January 2026 test at 53,058 miles, roughly 23,200 miles were added over just over four years, averaging around 5,800 miles annually in that window. The increments between successive tests are consistent: 5,214 miles over the two-year gap from November 2021 to January 2023, then 5,796 miles to January 2024, 3,864 miles to January 2025, and 4,169 miles to January 2026. No sudden spikes or suspicious drops appear in the odometer record, and the gap between the 2021 and 2023 tests, while longer than twelve months, does not raise mileage fraud concerns given the modest total increase. Despite the flawless MOT history, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage vehicles that spend extended periods stationary can develop issues that MOTs do not always catch, such as perished rubber suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, or surface corrosion on brake discs and exhaust components from short trips. The Renegade's underbody and wheel arches should be examined for structural corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and subframes, as Jeep's corrosion protection has historically drawn mixed reports. Tyre condition deserves close attention; low annual mileage often means tyres age out before they wear out, and sidewall cracking from UV exposure and ozone degradation can occur well before tread depth becomes a concern. A test drive should assess gearbox smoothness, clutch engagement if manual, and any unusual drivetrain vibrations that a stationary MOT inspection would not reveal.
