2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD LTD A 3.0L Diesel · BT08 AAE

The July 2 2026 MOT at 171,332 miles passed, confirming roadworthiness, but the tester recorded rusty rear suspension components and areas of corrosion, and previous tests from 2020 onward have been largely defect‑free, indicating a stable maintenance record. The mileage has risen steadily from 141,804 miles in July 2020 to 171,332 miles in July 2026, an increase of roughly 29,500 miles over six years, or about 4,900 miles per year, which exceeds the earlier annual increments of 5,000‑6,500 miles seen in the first decade, and a notable jump of 6,475 miles occurred between the 2020 and 2021 tests. A buyer should therefore examine the rear suspension for rust and worn bushes, verify the steering rack inner joint for play as noted in the 2025 test, and inspect the front lower suspension arms and ball joints for missing lock nuts and severe deterioration, while also checking brake condition, oil leaks, exhaust smoke levels, and headlamp aim. Overall, the vehicle shows a consistent service history with no major mechanical failures in recent years, yet the recurring suspension and steering deficiencies, together with persistent oil leaks and occasional emission breaches, warrant a thorough in‑person inspection before purchase.
