2016 Jeep Renegade 2.0L Diesel · WN66 EKY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having achieved a clean pass in its most recent inspection on 12 August 2025 at 132,314 miles. This recent result indicates that the previous owner successfully addressed the mechanical concerns identified in prior years. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the vehicle moved from flagging suspension-related defects to a state with no recorded faults in the latest test. The mileage profile reflects a consistent high-mileage pattern, averaging approximately 13,200 miles per year over the last five years. Between the July 2021 test at 81,709 miles and the August 2025 test at 132,314 miles, the vehicle covered over 50,000 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular long-distance motorway driving, which places specific stresses on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to lower-mileage vehicles subjected to short urban trips. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension geometry, as the record shows a recurring issue in this area. The August 2022 test at 95,422 miles flagged wear on both nearside and offside rear axle swivel pins and bushes, followed by a worn nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage pin in August 2024 at 119,671 miles. While these were resolved, the high mileage increases the likelihood of further play in the linkages and control arm bushings. Checking for fluid leaks in the dampers and inspecting the integrity of the rubber components is essential to ensure the suspension wear has not progressed toward a mechanical failure.
