AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT test on 24 October 2025, which passed with no recorded defects. This follows a period of clean results in 2024 and late 2023. Although a failure occurred on 09 November 2023, the vehicle secured a pass the very following day, indicating that the specific issue was identified and rectified immediately. At a recorded mileage of 59,783 miles, this Jeep has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year since its registration. This is significantly below the national average for a ten-year-old vehicle. The data shows consistent annual testing with the only minor gap between the October 2022 and November 2023 tests. The low annual mileage suggests limited wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can also sometimes correlate with accelerated degradation of rubber-based parts and brake components due to longer periods of inactivity. While the most recent records show no advisories, a buyer should verify the specific nature of the November 2023 failure to ensure the repair was comprehensive. Given the low mileage and age, an inspection should focus on signs of surface corrosion on the underbody and the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs which can become brittle over time. Checking for seized brake calipers is also advisable, as low-use vehicles often suffer from uneven wear if not driven frequently. Buying score: 78 Risk level: Low.

Our Verdict

A sensible choice for those seeking a compact diesel SUV with a relatively consistent MOT record. The vehicle shows a pattern of passing tests without major structural or mechanical defects in recent years.

When inspecting this 1.6L diesel Renegade, focus on the suspension components. While this specific vehicle has had clean passes since late 2023, aggregate data for this model highlights ball joints and anti-roll bars as frequent failure points. Ensure these components feel tight and show no signs of excessive play during a test drive.

Given the diesel engine, check for any signs of excessive soot or irregular idling, and confirm that the service history aligns with the mileage increments seen in the MOT records. Negotiate based on the fact that while the recent record is clean, the mileage is trending above the statistical average for this model type.

As a 1598cc diesel, this Renegade is likely to offer decent motorway fuel economy, though urban driving will see higher consumption. Tax bands for 2016 models vary based on CO2, so verify the specific rate for this engine size.

Maintenance costs should be budgeted for typical diesel engine requirements, such as fuel filter changes and potential DPF considerations. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are estimated to fall within a standard bracket for a compact SUV of this age.

Pay close attention to the tyres and suspension. The aggregate data for Jeep Renegades indicates that tyres and ball joints are common MOT failure reasons; therefore, check the tread depth and sidewall condition on this red model specifically.

Additionally, inspect the anti-roll bars and associated bushings. Even though the 2024 and 2025 MOTs recorded no defects, these are known weak points for the model that can cause knocking sounds over uneven road surfaces.

This 2016 Red Jeep Renegade (WT16AXP) has covered 59,783 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The vehicle's history shows five recorded MOT tests, with a single failure noted in November 2023 at 43,207 miles. Its mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 7,761 per year, but the recent two years of clean passes suggest a stable current status.

Aggregate data from over 26,000 vehicles shows an 81.8% MOT pass rate, with common failures linked to suspension components like ball joints and anti-roll bars.
