2017 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L Petrol · 102 RT

The Jeep Wrangler presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 5 June 2025 at 21,529 miles, with the underlying maintenance trend appearing broadly stable rather than worsening. The tester raised only minor advisories at that test: rear brake discs worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, and front washer jets delivering low pressure. This contrasts with the 21 May 2024 failure for a non-working windscreen washer, a fault corrected the same day for a clean pass at 21,267 miles. Recorded mileage sits at 21,529 against a 2017 build, equating to roughly 2,392 miles per year. The history shows light use with a long dormant stretch between 23 June 2023 (19,121 miles) and 10 September 2021 (16,040 miles), then only 2,146 miles added across the following two years. Such low annual coverage suggests extended standing periods, which typically accelerates tyre sidewall degradation and surface corrosion on brake components rather than drivetrain fatigue. Recurring rear brake disc pitting first appeared at the 10 September 2021 test (16,040 miles) and returned at the June 2025 test (21,529 miles), indicating the discs have not been replaced in four years and are slowly degrading from corrosion and light use. A nail in the near-side rear tyre was logged in 2021 but no subsequent tyre defects appear, implying it was repaired or swapped. The May 2024 washer failure points to neglected basic consumables, repeated by low-pressure jets in 2025. A buyer should physically inspect the rear brake discs for scoring depth and hub corrosion, confirm the front washer pump and jets operate at correct pressure, and check tyre age and sidewall condition given the low mileage and standing time. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and underside structural integrity should be examined for moisture-related corrosion, though no MOT entry has yet flagged structural defects.
