2015 Jeep Renegade 1.4L Petrol · SN65 LHF

The most recent MOT on 22 December 2025 at 84,679 miles shows a pass but carries several continuing advisories, so the vehicle is roadworthy yet not fully cleaned up. The failure nine days earlier on 13 December 2025 at 84,466 miles exposed an engine management light fault, a defective rear seat belt buckle, a major exhaust leak at the front flexi pipe, and a binding near side front brake. All those defects were corrected for the pass, but the same advisories reappear, indicating the keeper addressed only the most serious items. The trend is stable rather than worsening, with minor faults like slight play in the near side front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, sidewall cracking on the near side rear tyre, inner face wear on the off side rear brake disc, and a slow oil leak all persisting. Mileage stands at 84,679 miles for an 11-year-old vehicle, or roughly 7,700 miles per year, which is typical. The recorded tests show consistent annual use: 63,927 miles in December 2023, 73,390 miles in December 2024, and 84,466 miles in December 2025, reflecting roughly 10,000 miles per year in the last two intervals. This pattern suggests regular driving without prolonged standing. The history is complete with no gaps. A buyer should inspect the near side front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint for play, as it has been flagged twice. The rear brakes need attention: the off side disc is pitted and scored, and the near side service brake was binding during the December 2025 fail. Check the rear brake pipes for corrosion, first noted in 2024. The engine management light and exhaust system must be verified for any current issues given the recent failure on the MIL and flexi pipe leak. Also examine both rear tyres for sidewall cracking, as the near side rear shows perished rubber. These are minor if attended to soon, but they suggest the previous owner did not resolve all lingering issues.
