Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough inspec
Given the high mileage and the history of steering-related failures, you should prioritise a professional mechanical inspection. Specifically, ask for evidence that the steering rack inner joints and track rod ends have been replaced or repaired, as these were noted as failures in 2024 and 2025.
Negotiate based on the recent history of oil leaks and tyre degradation. Check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes to address the 'not excessive' oil leak noted in May 2025. Ensure all tyres currently meet legal standards, as this vehicle has a documented tendency for perishing or damaged tyres appearing on MOT tests.
The 1956cc diesel engine will likely offer decent fuel economy for long-distance driving, though costs will be influenced by the high annual mileage. As a 2015 model, tax and insurance groups will vary depending on the specific trim level, but diesel engines in this class typically fall into mid-range insurance groups.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the observed patterns of wear in suspension and steering components. You should budget for more frequent tyre replacements and potential steering component maintenance, given the recorded history of these specific failures.
Pay close attention to the steering and suspension. The MOT history explicitly records failures for the offside front track rod end ball joint (2024) and nearside play in the steering rack inner joints (2025). A test drive is essential to check for any wandering or unusual noises from the front end.
Inspect the engine bay for signs of the oil leak mentioned in the May 2025 MOT. Additionally, check the condition of all four tyres; the vehicle has a history of MOT failures relating to cracked, perishing, or structurally damaged tyres. Finally, verify that the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is fully functional, as this was flagged as inoperative in 2025.
This 2015 black Jeep Renegade diesel has covered 108,290 miles as of June 2026, which is significantly higher than the model average of 7,816 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, specifically regarding tyre condition and steering components like the track rod end and steering rack inner joints. Although the latest test at 108,290 miles recorded no defects, the previous two years showed frequent failures and advisories.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 81.8%, with common failure points including ball joints, tyres, and anti-roll bars.
