2007 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE3.0L DIESEL

The most recent MOT entry for the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a pass on 2017-03-30 at 101,979 miles, but it noted an oil leak and slight play in the offside rear wheel bearing . A prior MOT on 2017-03-29 (101,965 miles) resulted in a fail , citing similar issues: oil leak, thin rear brake pads, and wheel bearing play. These recurring defects suggest ongoing maintenance concerns, particularly with seals, bearings, and braking components . The 2015 MOTs reveal a pattern of suspension and lighting faults , including worn anti-roll bar bushes, misaligned headlamps, and failing registration plate lamps. A 2014 MOT (116,852 miles) highlighted thin brake pads , corroded front discs , and deteriorated rubber bushings. While some issues were addressed by 2017, the persistence of oil leaks and wheel bearing play indicates potential unresolved mechanical stress . The vehicle’s mileage of 101,979 miles (about 5,367 miles per year) is low for its age , which could imply light use or periods of inactivity . However, the 2014 MOT recorded a higher mileage (116,852 miles) than the current reading, creating ambiguity. This discrepancy may reflect inaccurate recording, seasonal storage, or reduced usage post-2014 . Low mileage typically reduces wear on moving parts but can exacerbate issues like corrosion or seal degradation if the vehicle was not regularly driven.
