2016 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · V23 KAH

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a clear trend of neglected braking component replacement. The most recent test in December 2025 at 84,727 miles passed despite the rear brake discs being worn, pitted, and scored. This mirrors an identical advisory from the January 2025 test at 75,485 miles, indicating that the previous owner has failed to address these faults despite them being flagged in two consecutive inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in the records between November 2021 and January 2023, during which the vehicle covered roughly 20,000 miles. Since 2023, the usage has remained steady, increasing by about 10,000 miles annually. While the low mileage suggests the drivetrain is not subjected to extreme stress, the recurring brake issues suggest that mechanical maintenance is performed only on a reactive basis rather than proactively. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the entire braking system. The record notes worn front brake discs in 2024 at 65,545 miles and persistent rear disc corrosion through 2025. You should verify the thickness of the pads and check for seized calipers or excessive rust on the rotors, which often causes the pitting observed. Given the age of the vehicle and the history of deferred maintenance, also inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or tearing, as these are common points of failure on this model that do not yet appear in the MOT advisories.
