2015 Jeep Renegade 1.4L Petrol · NG15 OLO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend is clearly deteriorating rather than stable, with a clear worsening pattern evident from the most recent test dated 2026-06-13. The most recent record at 66,085 miles indicates a significant gap in the MOT history, with the last successful test occurring in June 2023, making the vehicle approximately 3.5 years old and only 18,005 miles on the odometer. This lack of recent testing suggests that the maintenance history has been inconsistent, with the vehicle failing multiple times in the past (2023, 2024, and 2025) for minor structural issues such as track rod end ball joints and track dust covers, which are often resolved by routine inspection rather than immediate replacement. The mileage accumulation is disproportionately high for a 2015 Jeep Renegade, averaging roughly 6,008 miles per year. While the 2026 test at 66,085 miles is still within the typical range for a 11-year-old vehicle, the rapid increase in mileage over the last two years (from 51,141 to 66,085) indicates that the vehicle has likely been driven for a substantial number of years, contributing to accelerated wear on components like brakes and suspension bushings. The lack of a single, clean MOT in 2026 is a critical indicator that the vehicle has not undergone adequate basic upkeep since the 2023 test, where the tester flagged track rod end ball joints and track dust covers as deteriorating. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear in the following areas: the front and rear brakes, which show signs of wear but lack the necessary sealing to prevent a catastrophic failure; the suspension, specifically the rear arm bushings, which have been flagged as worn but not causing excessive movement; and the track rod end ball joints, which appear to have slight play and dust cover damage that could compromise suspension integrity. Given the history of track rod end ball joint failures and dust cover deterioration, the suspension assembly is at high risk for future catastrophic failure if not inspected and serviced. Additionally, the front brake discs, while not seriously weakened, show pitting or scoring that could indicate corrosion or excessive heat, which is a secondary concern given the overall deteriorating maintenance trend.
