2014 Chrysler-Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6L Petrol · AE64 ANV

The most recent MOT test on January 29, 2024, confirms the vehicle passed with no defects recorded at 74,197 miles, indicating current roadworthiness. Over the past five annual tests, there is no evidence of recurring or unresolved issues, suggesting a stable maintenance history without obvious neglect or repeated mechanical failures. The absence of advisories or defects across all tests implies the vehicle has not experienced significant wear on critical systems like suspension, steering, or drivetrain components during the periods inspected. However, the lack of recent MOTs—nearly three years since the last test—means no verification of current condition exists. Buyers should prioritise an independent inspection to confirm no deferred maintenance has accumulated. The mileage progression shows consistent annual usage, averaging around 6,183 miles per year, which aligns with typical light-to-moderate driving patterns for this age. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps in mileage that would suggest extended periods of disuse or aggressive driving. The most notable interval is between the January 2020 (44,030 miles) and January 2021 (44,915 miles) tests, where only 885 miles were accumulated in a year, but this is within reasonable variation for seasonal or personal driving habits. The steady accumulation implies regular use, though it does not guarantee proactive maintenance beyond MOT compliance. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should be the suspension and steering components, particularly the condition of coil springs, suspension bushes, and track rod ends—common areas for wear in a vehicle of this age and mileage. The brakes, including caliper binding, disc thickness, and rotor corrosion, should be thoroughly checked, as even a clean MOT record does not exclude gradual deterioration. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for corrosion, which can compromise safety without immediate MOT failure. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or damage, as emissions-related defects are often the first to appear in vehicles with deferred maintenance.
