2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L Diesel · STS 1

The 2026‑06‑10 MOT passed, confirming the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee is currently roadworthy, yet the record reveals a maintenance trend that is stable but punctuated by recurring tyre wear, brake disc pitting and suspension looseness. The most recent test at 74,391 miles recorded front tyres worn close to the legal limit, a cracked off‑side front tyre, a non‑functioning direction indicator and edge‑worn front tyres, indicating that consumable items are being addressed only after they approach failure. No major structural failures were noted, so the overall trend remains stable rather than worsening dramatically. Mileage accumulation from 11,713 miles in March 2020 to 74,391 miles in June 2026 shows a steady increase of roughly 8,300 miles per year, consistent with typical usage for a nine‑year‑old vehicle. The jump from 22,198 miles in June 2021 to 35,959 miles in June 2022 represents an 13,800‑mile rise in one year, while later intervals remain within 8‑10k miles annually, suggesting regular driving rather than long periods of inactivity. Early years were clean, with no defects recorded in the 2020 and 2021 tests, and the pattern of mileage growth has been consistent throughout the subsequent tests. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension lock nut for tightness, examine the condition of the front tyre sidewalls and tread depth, and verify that the direction indicator wiring is intact, as the 2025 and 2026 records both flagged insecure attachments and non‑functioning lights. Repeated reports of thin rear brake pads and pitted rear discs point to potential caliper binding and disc wear that merit a close check of brake hardware and disc thickness. Although no explicit rust advisories appear, the repeated tyre edge wear and suspension looseness suggest possible mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes, so a visual inspection of the chassis, wheel arches and suspension components is advisable.
