There are currently 3 Jeep Renegade vehicles available on Motoring.Today, with prices starting from £5,300 or a representative monthly cost of £126. This model has a national DVSA MOT pass rate of 82.95% when presented for test. This figure is based on a substantial 25,389 real UK MOT tests. It is important to remember that a pass rate reflects the condition of cars presented for examination rather than an absolute measure of lifetime reliability, as failures often cluster with a vehicle’s age and general upkeep, not solely the badge. The most common failure category for the Renegade is Tyres, accounting for 29% of all failures. This is closely followed by Lighting & electrical at 26%, and then a combined 17% for 'Other' issues. Brakes make up 12% of failures, with Steering issues contributing 11%. For a used car buyer, frequent tyre failures suggest diligent inspection of tread depth and sidewall condition is paramount. Similarly, a thorough check of all lights, indicators, and interior electrics is advisable, alongside ensuring the brakes feel responsive and the steering free of play. These common failure points provide a clear checklist for pre-purchase inspections. While this MOT data offers valuable insight, every used car buyer should conduct their own checks. The full MOT history for each Renegade on Motoring.Today is available to review, offering further transparency into individual vehicle upkeep.
