2016 JEEP CHEROKEE2.0L DIESEL

The 2016 Jeep Cherokee has a recent MOT history showing recurring suspension, steering, and brake-related issues. The most recent MOT on 2026-02-12 recorded a pass , but it listed windscreen damage , steering rack play , worn suspension bushes , and a brake disc wear . These same issues were flagged in the prior fail on 2026-02-04, which also highlighted severely worn axle swivel bushes affecting directional stability. The pattern suggests unresolved mechanical degradation, with no indication of repairs between the two tests. The vehicle’s mileage of 189,204 miles (18,920 miles annually) is significantly higher than average for its age, implying frequent use. This aligns with the repeated suspension and brake wear, as high mileage typically accelerates component fatigue. However, the short interval between the 2026-02-04 fail and 2026-02-12 pass (just 8 days) raises questions about whether the issues were genuinely resolved or if the test was rushed. The lack of detailed repair records makes it hard to confirm. The trend in defects appears worsening . While earlier MOTs (2024–2022) had minor issues like tyre wear or windscreen damage, the 2026 tests reveal more critical concerns: steering play, axle bush wear, and brake disc degradation.
