What this means if you are buying one

A 90.3% first-time pass rate means roughly 10 in every 100 Jeep Renegade Night Eagles presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is better than average, so a well-kept example is a reasonably safe used buy. The average Jeep Renegade Night Eagle tested had covered 26,178 miles and was built around 2020.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Jeep Renegade Night Eagle sits 13.6 points above the national average, ranked 653 of 2,005 models. On one bought as repairable salvage, the mechanical side is less likely to spring surprises, so your repair estimate should hold up reasonably well.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.

Looking at a specific Jeep Renegade Night Eagle rather than the model in general? The free check covers its MOT and mileage history, and the full HPI report confirms the insurance write-off category, outstanding finance and whether it is recorded stolen, from licensed data for 5 credits.
