2017 Jeep Renegade 2.0L Diesel · OU17 WUM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs as the car ages. The most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 80,273 miles identified deterioration on the rear registration plate and damaged dust covers on both front track rod ends. While the vehicle passed, the transition from a clean record in previous years to multiple advisories indicates that rubber components and plastic fittings are now reaching the end of their service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. The record shows steady usage, with a jump of 14,604 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 8,725 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This regular use suggests the car has not suffered long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for seals and braking components, but it explains the increasing wear on consumables at the 80,000-mile mark. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the front suspension geometry, as the recurring issues with track rod end dust covers in 2025 suggest imminent failure of the ball joints. The 2024 advisory regarding thin front brake pads and the 2023 report of uneven inner tyre wear point to a history of potential alignment issues or neglected brake maintenance. A thorough physical inspection of the front brake discs for uneven scoring and a check of the current tyre alignment are necessary to ensure these previous wear patterns have been addressed by the previous owner.
