1996 JEEP WRANGLER 2.52.5L Petrol

This Jeep Wrangler presents a stable and exceptionally clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 26 April 2025 confirming a pass with no recorded defects. The vehicle has maintained a consistent streak of clean certificates over the last four years, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very light duty cycle. There are no recurring advisories or failures to suggest systemic mechanical degradation. The mileage is notably low for a thirty year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,377 miles per year. Between 20 June 2022 at 96,300 miles and 26 April 2025 at 101,310 miles, the odometer increased by only 5,010 miles over nearly three years. Such low annual usage often suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which can lead to different wear patterns than those seen in high-mileage examples. While the MOT record is flawless, the lack of flagged defects does not guarantee the absence of age-related deterioration. A buyer should specifically inspect the chassis and body for corrosion, as the DVSA tests often overlook surface rust that has not yet compromised structural integrity. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, should be checked for perishing or cracking caused by long periods of inactivity. The absence of any brake or suspension advisories since February 2023 is positive, but the low mileage makes a physical check of the brake discs for pitting or binding essential. Ensure the engine oil and coolant show no signs of contamination, as vehicles that sit idle are more prone to seal leaks and fluid degradation.
