2017 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · MF67 CCY

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 30 April 2026 at 76,157 miles, following a same-day retest after an initial failure. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but reveals a pattern of recurring minor and moderate faults rather than a clean bill of health. The most recent advisories, a worn rear inner brake disc and an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit, point to consumable wear that has been addressed just within the MOT threshold. The offside track rod end with slight play is a new advisory not present in earlier tests, suggesting emerging suspension wear that warrants monitoring. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. Between the April 2024 pass at 47,377 miles and the April 2025 failure at 62,223 miles, the vehicle covered 14,846 miles in roughly twelve months. From April 2025 to April 2026, it added a further 13,934 miles. This equates to an annual rate of approximately 14,000 miles, which is above the typical 8,000 to 12,000-mile average for a nine-year-old vehicle. The higher-than-average use implies accelerated wear on braking and suspension components, yet the MOT record itself is relatively sparse, with only four tests logged across the vehicle's life, the earliest dating back to April 2024. There is no evidence of long-term neglect, but the limited history means a buyer cannot verify servicing consistency over the first seven years of the car's life. The recurring advisory for worn brake discs across both the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests the vehicle may be driven in conditions that accelerate disc wear, such as hilly terrain or heavy urban use. The 2025 failure flagged front brake pads worn to the limit alongside worn discs, indicating the braking system has been working hard. The offside track rod end ball joint, flagged with slight play in 2026 and with excessive play on the nearside in 2025, shows a pattern of steering linkage wear that could reflect the higher-than-average mileage. A buyer should inspect the full suspension and steering rack in person, checking for uneven tyre wear, clunking over bumps, and any play in the inner tie rods. The engine management light fault that caused the initial 2026 failure was rectified before the retest, but no further detail is recorded. This should not be dismissed without a diagnostic scan to confirm no stored fault codes remain. The repeated presence of child seat fitments obstructing adult belt inspections across three consecutive tests is a minor administrative note but does not indicate a mechanical concern. Overall, the vehicle presents as a moderately used example with no serious structural or safety-critical failures, yet the cumulative wear on brakes, tyres, and steering components demands a thorough in-person inspection and a recent independent mechanical report before purchase.
