The 2021–2023 Jeep Cherokee (KL) has an excellent reliability record with no widely reported common faults for this model year period.

Buying Tips for the 2021 Jeep Cherokee (KL)

✓The 9-speed automatic gearbox is the biggest concern; test it thoroughly for hesitant shifts, clunking, or holding gears too long.
✓Check the operation of the 4WD system, particularly on Trailhawk models, to ensure the rear axle engages when required.
✓Listen for knocking from the front suspension, as the heavy diesel engine accelerates wear on bushes and top mounts.
✓Inspect the infotainment system (Uconnect); early versions are prone to freezing and dropping Bluetooth connections.
✓Verify the service history for the Multijet diesel; missed oil changes can quickly lead to turbo or DPF failure.
✓Check for dampness in the front footwells, which can indicate blocked sunroof drains or a failing heater matrix.
