2015 Jeep Renegade 2.0L Diesel · SN65 LHO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in July 2025, but the maintenance records indicate a worsening trend of reactive rather than proactive repairs. While the most recent test at 126,100 miles only identified a tyre issue, the preceding failure in June 2025 revealed multiple critical mechanical faults. The presence of ABS and electronic stability control failures alongside a fractured coil spring suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure rather than during routine service intervals. At 126,100 miles over 11 years, the Renegade has averaged approximately 11,400 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a family vehicle. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 7,200 miles between May 2024 and June 2025. This steady mileage places significant stress on rubber components and suspension assemblies, which is reflected in the recurring failures of steering and engine mounts. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and engine bay. The 2024 failure noted excessive play in both track rod ends and a deteriorated central front lower engine mounting, indicating significant wear in the drivetrain supports and steering geometry. The fractured offside rear coil spring found in 2025 further suggests the suspension components may be nearing the end of their functional life. Furthermore, the ABS and stability control faults from 2025 must have been properly diagnosed and cleared, as these electronic systems can be costly to rectify if a module has failed. The tyre condition also warrants attention, specifically the offside front inner. The July 2025 test flagged this as worn on the edge, which typically points to incorrect alignment or worn suspension bushes. Given the high mileage and the history of steering-related failures, a professional alignment check and a visual inspection of all ball joints are necessary to ensure the vehicle does not suffer from ongoing handling instability or uneven wear.
