2016 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · WP66 NFU

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning pattern of reactive repairs. While it passed the most recent test in May 2025 at 86,923 miles, the failure just one month prior at 86,454 miles was extensive. This failure included critical safety defects such as multiple seat belt webbing cuts and buckle failures, alongside an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses faults when forced by the MOT testing process rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 14,000 miles between the December 2022 test at 51,444 miles and the December 2023 test at 65,425 miles. Following this, the vehicle covered another 21,498 miles by May 2025. This recent surge in usage explains the rapid wear observed on components like the tyres and the anti-roll bar linkage, both of which the owner failed to address between test intervals. A buyer must personally inspect the seat belt assemblies to ensure the significant cuts noted in April 2025 have been professionally replaced rather than merely repaired. The braking system requires close attention, as the rear brake disc was already flagged as pitted and scored at 86,923 miles, indicating the start of the end of its life. Furthermore, the tyre pressure monitoring system failure has been a recurring issue since 2022, suggesting a persistent electrical fault or sensor failure that remains unresolved. Check the suspension geometry thoroughly, specifically the anti-roll bar linkages, as the play noted in 2023 is likely to worsen at this mileage.
