2009 Chrysler-Jeep Commander 3.0L Diesel · 3 BDY

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness based on its recent testing history. The most recent inspection in June 2025 at 45,304 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a single failure occurred in March 2023 at 43,042 miles, the immediate retest just eight days later suggests that any identified faults were addressed promptly by the owner. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,665 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between December 2021 and March 2023, during which the car covered only 3,482 miles. Since the 2023 failure, the usage has remained consistent, covering roughly 2,200 miles over the last two years. This low-usage pattern suggests the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine is likely minimal, though it also increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading due to periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than mileage. Despite the clean MOT records, the tester does not always catch early-stage suspension bushing perish or perished hoses which are common on vehicles that sit stationary. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and seized calipers, as low mileage often leads to components seizing from infrequent use. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the structural integrity along the sills and wheel arches is essential to ensure that deep-seated rust has not compromised the chassis, despite the lack of advisories in the last three tests.
