2015 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · OF02 AJF

The vehicle presents a consistent history of MOT passes, though the high mileage indicates significant mechanical wear. In the most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 163,066 miles, the Jeep passed with multiple advisories regarding suspension components. Specifically, the tester noted wear on the nearside and offside rear suspension bushes as well as the nearside and offside front suspension bushes. While these did not result in an immediate failure, they suggest that the suspension system is reaching the end of its functional life and will require proactive replacement to maintain handling integrity and prevent noise. At 163,066 miles over eleven years, this vehicle has averaged approximately 14,800 miles per annum, which is above the national average. This consistent usage puts considerable strain on the drivetrain, braking system, and bushings. The record shows a specific failure in January 2024 at 129,550 miles due to excessive play in the offside front track rod end ball joint. The fact that this was identified and rectified to pass the subsequent test suggests the owner is reactive to safety failures, but the recurring advisories for bushes in 2026 indicate a developing trend of wear-related degradation across multiple corners. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the entire suspension and steering assembly, as the recent MOT results highlight multiple points of impending failure. Given the high mileage, it is also vital to check for significant corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system, which are common in vehicles of this age and. The absence of structural failures in the record is a positive sign, but the accumulation of rubber component wear indicates that the vehicle is currently in a phase requiring higher maintenance costs to remain roadworthy.
