2016 JEEP RENEGADE LIMITED 4X4

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title, with “MECHANICAL” shown as the primary damage classification. However, the auction-listed mechanical damage cannot be confirmed from the available photographs and requires a physical inspection. No clear mechanical failure or significant collision damage is visibly confirmed. The salvage-certificate status also cannot be verified from exterior photographs. The visible condition findings are limited to minor cosmetic issues. The upper steering-wheel rim shows wrinkling and wear in its covering. Light scuff marks are present on the black lower rear bumper cover. A rectangular area of discoloration and surface residue is visible on the rear liftgate below the license-plate mounting area. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 Jeep Renegade Limited SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 184 horsepower, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by FCA Italy in Melfi, Italy. Two NHTSA-listed recalls are associated with this model year. One concerns certain aftermarket Daystar rear control-arm brackets used with a 1.5-inch spacer kit; improperly welded brackets could allow the rear axle to shift. This applies only if the specified aftermarket kit is installed. The other concerns vehicles equipped with the factory-installed trailer-hitch package, where insufficient fasteners could allow the hitch assembly to separate. The vehicle’s equipment and recall repair status should be verified by VIN and physical inspection before purchase.
