2021 Jeep Renegade: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Diesel versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.

Known faults on every 2021 Jeep Renegade

Reported by owners, mechanics and buying guides for this model and age. Check which engine the car has, as some apply to one engine only.

  • Recalls: airbags, engine mount, gearbox wiring

    Some cars

    Recalls covered side airbags that might not deploy (built Oct to Nov 2016), restraint software (built July 2017 to June 2019), a right-hand engine mount (built Oct to Dec 2018) and a wiring fault that could put the automatic into neutral.

    At the viewing: Ask a Jeep dealer to check the VIN for outstanding recalls.
