2016 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · LP16 AXZ

The 2016 Jeep Renegade holds a valid MOT issued on 16 February 2026 at 103,855 miles, following a failure on the same day for an offside front tyre below the 1.6mm legal limit. That tyre was evidently replaced before the pass was issued, which is a positive sign of immediate rectification. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though not without minor recurring blemishes. The most recent test flagged a damaged nearside lower windscreen, which did not affect the driver's view, and slight play in the nearside rear anti-roll bar ball joint. Both items were advisory at the time of the pass, suggesting the car is roadworthy but showing early signs of suspension wear that a buyer should monitor. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for a vehicle of this age. Between the February 2023 test at 68,132 miles and the February 2024 test at 80,136 miles, the car covered roughly 12,000 miles. The following year it added approximately 10,188 miles to reach 90,324 miles by February 2025. The jump to 103,855 miles by February 2026 represents about 13,531 miles in the most recent twelve-month period, a slight uptick but still within a normal annual range. There are no alarming gaps in the record, with tests conducted every February since 2023, indicating regular use and consistent annual servicing patterns. The recurring theme across the MOT history is tyre wear, flagged in both 2023 and 2026 on the offside front. This could point to uneven wear patterns potentially linked to wheel alignment, suspension geometry, or simply the front axle loading typical of a front-wheel-drive crossover. The nearside rear anti-roll bar ball joint play noted in February 2026 is a minor concern but one that warrants physical inspection. A buyer should check for knocking from the rear suspension over rough surfaces and examine the condition of all suspension bushes and drop links. The damaged lower windscreen, while not a failure item, should be inspected to confirm it has not spread or begun to obscure the driver's line of sight. Given the mileage and age, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, would be prudent before purchase.
