2016 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · WP65 UOL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in oversight following a period of clean records. While the car passed in 2023 and early 2024, the September 2025 test at 107,142 miles revealed a significant volume of advisories across multiple systems. This shift from zero defects to a long list of wear and tear suggests that preventative maintenance may have been neglected as the vehicle reached higher mileage figures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 88,610 miles in February 2023 to 107,142 miles by September 2025. However, the failure in August 2024 at 101,860 miles due to an inoperative malfunction indicator lamp and a blown bulb indicates a period where basic electrical and diagnostic checks were not performed by the previous owner prior to the test. A buyer must focus their physical inspection heavily on the suspension and braking components. The 2025 test flagged corrosion on both front and rear Macpherson struts, alongside a corroded front brake hose ferrule, which requires close monitoring for fluid leaks. The worn suspension arm bushes and damaged nearside front track rod end dust cover indicate that the front end is beginning to require component replacement. Furthermore, all four tyres were noted as being near the legal limit or showing physical damage, suggesting an immediate capital expenditure for a full set of rubber is likely.
