2016 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · WN66 EKT

The vehicle remains road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 6 October 2025 at 55,861 miles, with only a minor oil‑weeping advisory and the TPMS noted as operational. Recurring rear‑tyre cracking recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023 and again in 2025 indicates a persistent wear pattern, while the front‑brake disc warning from 2021 has not re‑appeared, suggesting that component was either replaced or has now reached acceptable thickness. Overall the maintenance trend is stable, with no failures, but the tyre condition shows a slow deterioration that merits attention. Mileage has risen from 38,006 miles in August 2021 to 55,861 miles in October 2025, an average increase of roughly 4,500 miles per year. The incremental growth between tests – 5,546 miles in the first year, then 4,690, 3,764 and 3,855 miles respectively – shows no sudden spikes, implying consistent, moderate use rather than periods of heavy exploitation or long storage. The low cumulative mileage for a ten‑year‑old model further suggests the vehicle has been driven lightly, which aligns with the modest wear observed on most components. A prospective buyer should give the rear tyres a thorough visual and tactile inspection, focusing on tread cracking and any sidewall damage that could compromise grip. The oil‑weeping advisory warrants a check of the valve‑cover gasket, oil pan and surrounding seals to confirm the leak is indeed minor and not indicative of a larger sealing failure. Although the front‑brake disc warning has not resurfaced, measuring disc thickness and confirming even wear will verify the braking system remains within safe limits. Finally, a cursory examination of suspension bushes, coil springs and chassis for corrosion or fatigue will ensure that the vehicle’s structural integrity has not been undermined by the tyre‑related vibrations noted in earlier tests.
