JEEP CHEROKEE2018 · 2.2L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive component management. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 69,112 miles passed, the tester flagged all four tyres as being close to the legal limit and exhibiting uneven wear. This is a significant departure from the May 2025 and 2023 tests, which recorded no defects, suggesting that the owner has deferred routine consumable replacements until reaching a critical threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2024, the Jeep covered 19,932 miles, indicating a steady usage profile. However, the gap of only 4,000 miles between the May 2024 and 2025 tests shows a slight decrease in annual distance. The overall low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy-duty use, which generally benefits the drivetrain and rubber-based components despite age-related degradation. A buyer must specifically inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the uneven wear noted on all four tyres in 2026 often indicates worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking settings. The history also shows a recurring issue with pitted and scored front brake discs noted in 2022 and 2024. While these were not failures, the buyer should verify if the current discs have been replaced and check the brake pads for adequate thickness. Given the previous reports of tyre cuts in 2024, a physical check of the sidewalls is also necessary to ensure no structural damage is present on the current set.
