2016 Jeep Renegade 2.0L Diesel · LP16 AXN

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a maintenance trend suggesting a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in August 2024 at 112,193 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just five days prior. This failure revealed critical safety issues including an ABS fault, an inoperative tyre pressure monitoring system, and dangerously low front tyres. The persistent presence of suspension noise and worn rear suspension arm bushes across multiple years indicates that mechanical wear is being addressed only when components reach a point of failure. The recorded mileage of 112,193 miles over ten years reflects an average annual usage of approximately 11,200 miles, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 13,000 miles between 2022 and 2023. This steady mileage places standard demand on the braking system and suspension components, which explains the recurring advisories noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry. The history repeatedly flags worn suspension arm bushes and track rod end ball joints, suggesting the front-end assembly may be nearing the end of its service life. Special attention should be paid to the braking system hardware; the 2022 failure for pitted and scored discs alongside thin pads indicates that the previous owner neglected basic maintenance until a failure was necessary. Given the ABS fault recorded in the August 2024 failure, a diagnostic scan is essential to ensure the fault was properly rectified and is not indicative of a deeper electrical or control unit issue.
