Jeep Renegade Longitude M Jet (2016)
2016 Jeep Renegade Longitude M Jet
CarHunch analysed 140 real MOT records for the 2016 Jeep Renegade Longitude M Jet. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2016 Jeep Renegade M-JET is a serious reliability concern: only 47% pass their MOT first time, nearly 33 percentage points below the UK average of 80%, with a median reliability score of just 50. There are no dangerous defects recorded across the cohort, which is reassuring, but the persistently weak pass rate suggests systemic issues beyond safety-critical failures.
At an average mileage of 60,000 km for an eight-year-old vehicle, these Renegades are running relatively light, yet still failing MOTs at roughly double the normal rate—pointing to inherent build quality or component durability problems rather than wear-and-tear from high mileage. If you're considering one, budget for repeated repairs and have a trusted mechanic inspect it thoroughly before purchase, paying particular attention to the diesel engine and running gear.
What to check before buying a 2016 Jeep Renegade Longitude M Jet
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
