2016 Jeep Renegade 1.6L Diesel · WT16 UEK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a positive maintenance trend despite intermittent testing failures. The most recent MOT test on 23 January 2026 at 88,318 miles resulted in a pass without defects following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying issues immediately to maintain compliance. Since the pass in December 2024, the vehicle has maintained a clean record with no recorded advisories, indicating a consistent level of mechanical upkeep over time. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,832 miles per annum. Data shows a steady accumulation of 8,467 miles between December 2023 and December 2024, followed by another 9,279 miles in the thirteen months leading up to the 2026 test. This regular usage is generally beneficial for mechanical components as it prevents long periods of standing which often lead to rubber seal degradation or brake corrosion. The intervals between tests remain regular, suggesting the vehicle drivetrain and suspension components are being used predictably rather than being aged. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the specific causes of the failures in December 2023 and January 2026, as the record does not specify the defect codes. Recurring failures followed by immediate passes often involve consumable items such as bulbs, tyre pressure, or minor fluid leaks. Given the age and mileage, a thorough physical check of the suspension bushes and control arm joints is still advisable, as these are common points of wear on this model. The lack of advisories in the last two tests suggests that the structural integrity and braking system are currently in good condition, but a check for surface rust on the underbody remains standard practice.
