2016 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · RX66 XAV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 69,518 miles passed, the record shows a strong advisory for an offside front tyre with excessive inner edge wear. This follows a significant failure in October 2024 where the vehicle failed multiple critical points including lighting, suspension, and electronics. This suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they result in an MOT failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 39,164 miles and October 2023 at 48,457 miles, the car covered roughly 9,000 miles, followed by a sharper increase of over 21,000 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This steady usage suggests regular operation, though the low annual mileage often means that rubber components and suspension bushes suffer from age rather than mileage. A buyer must scrutinise the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 failure flagged both track rod end ball joint dust covers as deteriorated. The inner edge wear on the offside front tyre noted in 2025 strongly indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension components that have not been properly rectified. A physical inspection should check for excessive play in the steering linkage and the condition of the coil springs. Additionally, the persistent TPMS light and previous engine malfunction indicator light (MIL) failure in 2024 warrant a diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden fault codes remain in the engine management system.
