2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L Diesel · BE57 AAM

A pattern of escalating wear on consumables defines the mechanical record of this vehicle, transitioning from clean tests in 2020 and 2021 to multiple advisories regarding tyres and braking systems in later years. While the vehicle passed its latest inspection on 2 December 2025, the record shows a recurring trend of tyre degradation and brake disc corrosion that has persisted since 2022. The recorded mileage of 57,763 miles is consistent with the age of the vehicle, reflecting an average annual accumulation of approximately 7,220 miles. This level of usage typically indicates a steady operational history, meaning the drivetrain and suspension components have likely been subjected to standard wear and tear rather than the accelerated degradation of high-mileage use or the seal shrinkage and fluid stagnation associated with long-term inactivity. Immediate attention is required for the tyre set and braking system based on the latest DVSA entries. The offside front tyre has a recorded cut, while both rear tyres are noted as being worn close to the legal limit. Furthermore, the rear brake pads are wearing thin and the rear discs are pitted or scored, mirroring a similar advisory for the front brake discs recorded in 2023. A physical inspection should confirm if these components have been replaced since the December 2025 test. During a test drive, focus on the tactile feedback from the braking system. Any pulsation or judder felt through the brake pedal during deceleration may indicate that the pitted and scored discs flagged in the MOT history remain unaddressed. Additionally, listen for abnormal road noise or feel for steering instability, which could be linked to the recorded tyre sidewall damage and cuts. The small windscreen chip noted in 2024 should also be checked to ensure it has not spread into a larger crack.
