2016 Jeep Renegade 1.4L Petrol · OV16 GZY

The 2016 Jeep Renegade presents a largely stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 16 January 2026 at 127,953 miles resulting in a pass. The sole advisory raised was a Nearside Rear Tyre showing slight damage, cracking, or perishing under item 5.2.3 (d) (ii). This is a minor consumable defect rather than a structural or mechanical failure, and the overall record across the past five tests shows no recurring serious faults, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in broadly roadworthy condition. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of sustained high use. Covering 127,953 miles over roughly ten years equates to approximately 12,795 miles per year, which sits above the typical UK annual average. The intervals between tests show consistent progression: 76,161 miles in December 2021, 89,941 in April 2023, 100,465 in April 2024, 114,532 in April 2025, and 127,953 in January 2026. There is a notable gap between December 2021 and April 2023, spanning roughly sixteen months, which may indicate a period of reduced use or a missed test. The subsequent annual intervals are regular and well-documented, with no sudden spikes suggesting odometer anomalies. A buyer inspecting this vehicle in person should pay close attention to the condition of the rear tyres, given the advisory flagged in January 2026. Perished or cracked tyres on the nearside rear suggest either age-related degradation or prolonged exposure to poor storage conditions, and both rear tyres should be checked for matching wear and date codes. Beyond that, the high annual mileage places sustained load on suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, so a thorough check for play, knocking, or uneven ride height is warranted. Brake discs and pads should be measured for wear, and the rear calipers specifically inspected for any tendency to bind, as rear brake issues are common on higher-mileage examples of this platform. Underbody corrosion around mounting points and subframes deserves careful examination, particularly if the vehicle has been used on salted roads during winter months. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but the mileage demands a hands-on mechanical inspection rather than reliance on paperwork alone.
