2015 Jeep Renegade 2.0L Diesel · YW15 FFP

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 132,113 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just one day prior involving multiple mechanical faults. The trend shows a pattern where components are only addressed after failing an inspection, as evidenced by the transition from worn rear suspension bushes in early 2025 to excessive wear and a fractured coil spring by early 2026. At 132,113 miles, this eleven-year-old Jeep Renegade has covered an average of 12,000 miles per year. This high mileage puts significant strain on the suspension and braking systems. The data period between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests shows the vehicle covered 10,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation, combined with the consistent wear observed on rubber components like bushes and boots, suggests the vehicle has seen frequent heavy use across various environments. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as this is a recurring point of failure. The rear suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar ball joints have been flagged for excessive wear across multiple consecutive tests. The presence of a fractured nearside front coil spring in January 2026 indicates that the suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life. You should also inspect the track rod ends and anti-roll bar dust covers, as previous failures showed significant deterioration that allows for dirt ingress. The braking system requires close attention. The front brake discs were noted as pitted, scored, or worn in every test since at least January 2025, indicating a lack of timely replacement or maintenance. Furthermore, the January 2025 failure noted fluctuating brakes, which often indicates warped rotors or sticking calipers. Given the previous oil leak and high emissions recorded in early 2025, a professional engine check and exhaust system inspection are necessary to ensure the high mileage has not led to deeper mechanical degradation.
