2020 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · NX20 HBH

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a reactive maintenance style rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in November 2023 at 80,691 miles was a pass, it followed a significant failure just fifteen days prior. The trend indicates that the owner only addresses defects when forced by an MOT tester, evidenced by the simultaneous failure of multiple tyres and suspension issues. The vehicle has not undergone a formal test in over two years, leaving its current mechanical safety status unverified. At 80,691 miles over six years, this Jeep has averaged approximately 13,400 miles per year, which sits above the national average for its age. The data shows a significant burst of activity between January 2023 and November 2023, where the vehicle covered 12,844 miles in just ten months. This rapid accumulation places high strain on wear components like suspension bushings and drivetrain parts. The gap in testing history since late 2023 suggests the vehicle may have been sitting stationary or is being operated with undetected mechanical degradation. A physical inspection must focus on the suspension and wheel assemblies, as these have shown recurring faults. The tester previously flagged a rough nearside front wheel bearing and play in both front anti-roll bar ball joints, which are common indicators of significant front-end wear. The split rear shock absorber dust covers noted in late 2023 should be checked for signs of fluid leakage. Furthermore, the history of missing road wheel fixings in early 2023 suggests a serious lapse in basic safety, necessitating a thorough check of all wheel bolts to ensure they are torqued to specification.
