2014 JEEP CHEROKEE2.0L Diesel

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-01 resulted in a pass , but several issues were recorded. These included a loose offside rear brake flex hose support bracket, worn tyres (with inner-edge wear and near-legal tread depths), small screen chips, and corrosion on rear shock absorber casings. While these were not critical failures, they indicate ongoing maintenance needs. A failed MOT on 2025-11-18 revealed more serious concerns: multiple headlamps malfunctioning, a non-operational tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and nearside front tyre tread below 1.6mm. The vehicle also had a nearside rear tyre with exposed ply, suggesting significant wear. These issues highlight electrical and safety-critical component failures that require immediate attention. Recurring problems include brake wear (brake discs pitted, pads thinning) and tyre degradation (edge wear, near-legal tread, and cord exposure). These were noted in 2024 and 2023 MOTs, indicating a persistent trend. Corrosion on brake components and shock absorbers was also observed in multiple tests, raising concerns about long-term durability. The vehicle’s mileage of 58,733 miles for a 12-year-old car is low, averaging 4,894 miles annually.
