2015 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · NG15 ABU

The Jeep Renegade’s most recent MOT test on 18 December 2025—just five months ago—confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This consistency across the last three tests (February 2025, March 2024, and February 2023) suggests the vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures or recurring advisories. The absence of any binding brakes, excessive corrosion, or suspension faults in these records implies that previous owners have likely addressed basic maintenance, though this does not guarantee current condition. The single failure in February 2024—though no defects were logged—stands out as an anomaly, possibly due to a minor oversight or administrative error rather than a mechanical trend. The recorded mileage progression shows steady usage, averaging around 9,600 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the February 2023 and December 2025 tests, the Jeep accumulated approximately 24,663 miles over 29 months, a rate that aligns with moderate, consistent driving rather than neglect or excessive wear. There are no prolonged gaps in mileage or abrupt jumps that would indicate prolonged storage or aggressive driving patterns. However, the 106,000-mile figure—while reasonable—approaches the upper threshold for components like timing belts, suspension bushes, and brake calipers, which may now require closer inspection. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which often degrade around this mileage. Binding or uneven brake calipers, particularly on the rear, should be tested for smooth operation, as past tests did not explicitly rule out subtle wear. Corrosion checks are essential, especially around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are prone to rust progression over time. Finally, the engine bay should be examined for fluid leaks, as the lack of recorded defects does not preclude gradual degradation in hoses, belts, or the cooling system. The absence of advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but visual and functional verification of these critical areas remains necessary.
