2016 JEEP RENEGADE LIMITED 4X4

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate, and the auction’s primary damage designation is “front end.” Stage 1 reports that the photographs provide limited support for this designation: localized missing trim and a missing lower bumper grille insert are visible at the front, but no major front-end deformation is visible. The salvage certificate itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. Visible exterior damage includes missing black plastic wheel-arch molding around the left front wheel, with mounting holes and fasteners exposed along the fender edge. A section of the lower front bumper grille or trim insert is also missing on the left side, leaving an irregular open cavity. The interior shows minor cosmetic wear. The driver’s leather seat cushion has creasing, surface cracking, and abrasion, while the steering-wheel rim has worn, glossy areas along the outer grip. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2016 Jeep Renegade Limited SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and left-hand drive. It was manufactured by FCA Italy S.p.A. in Italy. Two recall records are associated with the 2016 Jeep Renegade. One concerns certain aftermarket Daystar rear control-arm brackets and applies only if the specified spacer kit was installed. The other concerns factory-installed trailer hitch packages that may have insufficient fasteners. The vehicle should be checked to determine whether either condition applies and whether the required repairs have been completed. A physical inspection is recommended to assess the front bumper structure, wheel-arch and fender mounting points, suspension, alignment, underbody, safety systems, and any repairs not visible in the available images.
