2016 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · VF16 HXT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 at 71,771 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement following a significant failure in November 2025. While the previous test revealed multiple mechanical and consumable defects, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects or advisories indicates that the owner addressed the necessary repairs to rectify the safety-related failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,177 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 12,400 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025, and another 10,700 miles between December 2023 and November 2024. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has avoided long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and braking components to prevent seizing or-related corrosion. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry given the faults recorded in the November 2025 test. The nearside front track rod end and offside front anti-roll bar linkage both showed mechanical play or component failure, which can affect steering precision and tyre wear. Although these were replaced to pass the test, verifying that there is no remaining play in the rubber bushes is essential. The previous failure on the offside front tyre for being below the legal limit suggests that the tyres may be nearing the end of their life, necessitating a check of the remaining tread depth across the set.
