Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a compact SUV with a relatively clean recent MOT history. The low mileage and lack of recent defects make this a strong contender in the used market.
When inspecting this 1.4L petrol Renegade, focus on the suspension components. While this specific vehicle has had a clean recent history, aggregate data for this model shows that ball joints, tyres, and anti-roll bars are frequent causes of MOT failure.
Ensure you check the service history to see if the low mileage has been matched by regular oil changes, as small-capacity petrol engines require consistent maintenance. Given the vehicle's black paintwork, check for any significant stone chips or scratches that might indicate heavy motorway use, despite the relatively low mileage.
The 1368cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency in a compact SUV, typically placing it in a moderate insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy should be reasonable for urban and suburban driving, though performance may feel limited when the vehicle is fully loaded.
Maintenance costs for the Renegade are generally aligned with other compact crossovers, but you should budget for periodic replacement of suspension parts like anti-roll bars, which are common failure points for this model type. Estimated annual running costs are moderate.
Based on the MOT history for this specific vehicle, the recent records are clean, but you should still perform a thorough underside inspection. Look specifically at the ball joints and anti-roll bars, as these are identified as the top failure reasons for the Renegade model across the wider dataset.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres. Although no tyre-related failures are noted in this vehicle's recent history, they are a common reason for failure across the model aggregate. Finally, inspect the brake pads and discs, as well as any visible leaks from the 1.4L petrol engine.
This 2017 Jeep Renegade (LS17BJJ) presents with 49,004 miles on the clock, which is significantly lower than the model average of 7,761 miles per year for its age. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with the most recent test in June 2025 recording no defects. While there was a failure in June 2024, the vehicle has since maintained a clean record through its most recent inspection.
Aggregate data for the Jeep Renegade shows an 81.8% MOT pass rate, with common mechanical issues often relating to ball joints and anti-roll bars.
