What this means if you are buying a 2016 Renegade

The 2016 is a weaker year for this model, passing 2.1 points less often than the Jeep Renegade average. Some of that is simply age, so compare it against the 2016 figure for all cars above rather than against newer examples. Check the exact car with the free MOT history checker before you buy, and run its VIN and mileage through our free VIN decoder and clocking check.

What a 10-year-old car fails on

A 2016 car is 10 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:

  • Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
  • Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
  • Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
  • Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
  • Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
  • Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested

That is around average, so condition and service history will tell you more than the odometer does. On a 2016 Jeep Renegade the average at test was 64,184 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.

The strongest year for this model is 2021 at 92.4%, and the weakest in our data is 2015 at 72.2%. That 20.2 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2016 car against a newer one tells you very little.
