2018 Jeep Renegade 1.0L Petrol · MM68 MKC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of neglected wheel alignment and inconsistent consumable replacement. The most recent test in November 2025 at 91,809 miles identified a front oil leak and a nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit with inner edge wear. While the vehicle passed, the recurrence of tyre wear issues across multiple years suggests that previous owners have ignored suspension geometry faults rather than addressing the underlying mechanical cause. At 91,809 miles over eight years, the Jeep Renegade has averaged approximately 11,500 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical national averages for its age. The mileage progression shows consistent usage, with a 13,300-mile interval between the December 2023 and November 2025 tests, and another 17,700 miles between late 2022 and late 2023. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which generally keeps seals and rubber components supple. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension components, as the consistent inner-edge tyre wear recorded in 2021, 2023, and 2025 points to worn control arm bushes, ball joints, or tracking rods. The front oil leak noted in the 2025 record requires a close look to determine if it is a minor valve cover seep or a more significant seal failure that could worsen over time. Additionally, the missing inflation kit noted in 2021 should be verified as replaced to ensure the vehicle is equipped for emergency roadside repairs.
