2016 Jeep Renegade 1.4L Petrol · OV16 GZS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a consistent trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent MOT test in January 2025 at 135,801 miles noted rear brake discs that were worn and pitted. This follows a recurring pattern of brake component issues dating back to the 2022 and 2023 tests. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the persistent flagging of worn hardware suggests that parts are only replaced once they reach the threshold of inspection failure. At 135,801 miles over ten years, this Jeep has averaged approximately 13,500 miles per year, which sits significantly above the national average for a passenger car. The data shows a sharp surge in usage of 23,168 miles between June 2021 and June 2022, followed by another 18,231 miles in the following year leading up to the 2023 test. This high-mile profile on a decade old vehicle suggests heavy motorway use or long-distance commuting, which accelerates the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The record shows a nearside front anti-roll bar linkage with play in 2023 and a weeping rear shock absorber noted in 2021, indicating the rubber bushings and dampers are likely nearing the end of their life. The inner-edge tyre wear documented in 2022 suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn components that remain unaddressed. Furthermore, the 2022 failure due to an excessively twisted offside front brake hose warrants a check for internal damage or structural degradation that could lead to sudden hydraulic failure.
