JEEP CHEROKEE TD LIMITED1998 · 2.5L DIESEL

The most recent MOT entry for this 1998 Jeep Cherokee TD Limited is from 2012, over a decade ago. On 2012-01-30, it failed due to nearside rear tyre tread depth below the legal minimum (1.6mm). However, the same date shows a passed MOT with no defects recorded. This inconsistency may indicate a data error or multiple tests on the same day, but the failure highlights a safety risk related to tyre wear. No further MOT results are recorded after 2012, leaving a gap of 14 years without inspection data. The earliest recorded MOT in 2011 reveals significant issues. On 2011-01-19, the vehicle failed due to excessive play in both front suspension ball joints, a damaged windscreen, a structurally compromised nearside rear tyre, and poor brake efficiency. These defects suggest potential structural and safety risks, including compromised handling and braking performance. A second 2011 MOT on 2011-01-22 showed no defects, but this may reflect temporary fixes or incomplete testing. The pattern of failures in 2011 indicates suspension and brake system vulnerabilities , alongside tyre and windscreen issues.
