2015 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · WM15 SOU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test on 23 December 2025 at 95,258 miles resulted in a pass, following a failure just one day prior. The trend shows a recurring pattern of deferred maintenance, specifically regarding rubber components and tyres, which are only addressed upon inspection failure. This suggests the owner only addresses faults once they threaten the MOT certificate rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 95,258 miles over 11 years, the Jeep has averaged approximately 8,660 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage patterns for its age. The data shows a significant spike in activity between December 2023 (78,436 miles) and January 2025 (88,290 miles), with nearly 10,000 miles covered in just thirteen months. While the mileage is not excessive, the frequency of failures during this period indicates that the vehicle is experiencing standard wear on its suspension and lighting components. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the record flags multiple recurring issues with track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. The tester noted deteriorated dust covers on both sides in late 2025, which can allow moisture and grit to cause premature failure of the joints. Furthermore, the presence of perishing and cracking rear tyres in the December 2025 test indicates that the rubber is reaching the end of its structural life regardless of tread depth. It is essential to check the current tyres for sidewall cracking and to ensure the TPMS system is fully functional, as this was a noted failure in early 2025.
