2015 Jeep Renegade 1.4L Petrol · WR65 EFD

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding braking components and suspension hardware. The most recent test in September 2025 at 94,742 miles identified multiple defects including thin front inner brake pads and worn, pitted discs across all four corners. While the vehicle passed, the accumulation of these faults over the last three tests suggests that the braking system is reaching the end of its service life and requires immediate attention to prevent further degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. The record shows steady usage with regular intervals of roughly 8,000 miles between annual tests from 2021 to 2025. This consistent use suggests the car has not been stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals and fuel systems. However, the transition from a clean record in 2021 to multiple mechanical advis in recent years indicates the natural acceleration of wear and tear on moving metal parts. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the September 2025 test flagged deteriorated dust covers on both front track rod end ball joints. Although these did not cause a failure, they allow moisture and grit ingress which will lead to premature joint failure. The buyer should also verify if the brake discs and pads have been replaced since the last MOT, as the deep pitting on the discs noted in 2024 and 2025 indicates significant surface corrosion that could affect stopping performance and cause vibration.
