2015 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · WM15 UMD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 88,059 miles passed, it followed a failure just four days prior. This indicates the owner only addresses mechanical defects once they result in a test failure. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to multiple failures in the latest test suggests that components are being neglected between annual inspections. The recorded mileage of 88,059 miles over 11 years averages to approximately 8,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 16,000 miles driven between November 2023 and 2024, and another 16,343 miles between November 2024 and 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is not sitting, which explains the progressive wear on rubber suspension and steering components seen in the inspection reports. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record shows recurring failures regarding the upper anti-roll bar linkages and track rod end ball joint dust covers across both 2024 and 2025. These faults indicate that protective boots are perished, which inevitably leads to premature joint failure and steering play. The November 2025 failure also highlighted tyres worn on the edges, which is a common mechanical symptom of poor wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes that have not been properly addressed. The electrical system also requires scrutiny following the failure of the position lamp switch and multiple bulb assemblies in the most recent test. While these were rectified to achieve the pass, the pattern of failure suggests a lack of attention to basic upkeep. A prospective buyer should check for signs of weeping in the steering rack and ensure that the uneven wear noted on the nearside rear tyre is not masking deeper alignment issues within the Jeep's chassis.
