2015 Jeep Renegade 1.4L Petrol · RA15 NFK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-05 resulted in a double entry—one pass and one fail at identical mileage (57,023), with no defects recorded in either. This anomaly suggests either a rare administrative error in the DVSA system or a test centre oversight, as no mechanical issues were flagged. The preceding tests in November 2024 (53,552 miles) and November 2023 (51,239 miles) also show identical pass/fail pairs with no recorded defects, reinforcing the absence of reported faults. While this pattern indicates no documented mechanical concerns, the repeated test failures at the same mileage warrant scrutiny—particularly whether the vehicle was driven between tests or if the fail was procedural rather than diagnostic. The recorded mileage of 57,023 miles over approximately 11 years (as of 2026-07-25) averages around 5,184 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age and type. The gaps between tests—consistently 11 months—align with the standard MOT cycle, but the stagnant mileage suggests prolonged periods of inactivity. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the vehicle covered just 2,323 miles (a rate of ~211 miles/month), and similarly, only 3,471 miles were added in the following year. Such low usage may mitigate some wear, but it also raises questions about fluid changes, battery health, and potential neglect of components prone to deterioration when vehicles are stored. The lack of advisory notes in any test further obscures whether routine maintenance (e.g., brake fluid, suspension lubrication) was addressed. Given the absence of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items that often fail silently or deteriorate over time. Focus on the suspension—particularly rear coil springs and bushes, which are common points of failure in this model—and verify for binding calipers or uneven brake pad wear, as these can develop without MOT-level symptoms. Examine the underbody for corrosion, especially around the sills, subframe, and exhaust system, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust. The engine bay should be checked for fluid leaks (coolant, oil) and battery condition, while the tyres—despite no MOT failures—should be assessed for uneven wear or excessive tread depth, as failing twice on tread suggests basic upkeep may have been inconsistent. The double test entries in 2024 and 2025 also justify reviewing service records for unexplained discrepancies.
