JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED A1997 · 4.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a currently roadworthy status following the October 2025 test cycle, with the most recent pass recorded on 16 October 2025 at 105,266 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend across the supplied record reads as stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any stage. Two failed tests appear on 13 October 2025 and 10 November 2023, both at identical mileages to the subsequent passes and both listing no defects, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical rejection. Recorded mileage sits at 105,266 against a 1997 build, an average of roughly 3,630 miles per year. The data shows extremely low annual use. Between the November 2023 test at 104,328 miles and the November 2024 test at 104,902 miles the vehicle covered only 574 miles. A further 364 miles were added by October 2025. Such limited accumulation over a 29-year life suggests prolonged standing periods, which carries its own risks for perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, and corrosion unseen in the clean MOT entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and low-use profile. Standing vehicles commonly develop binding calipers and flat-spotted tyres that a no-defect MOT will not capture if within tolerance on the day. Structural integrity around chassis rails and sills warrants close checking for rust, as the DVSA record offers no corrosion commentary across its span. The absence of recorded advisories across five tests implies previous owners kept the Cherokee to minimum test standards rather than documenting wear. Given the 105,266-mile outlier against a low-mileage history, verify the odometer against service stamps before purchase.
