2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6L Petrol · AE64 FPL

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding reactive rather than proactive repairs. The most recent test in December 2025 at 124,122 miles revealed a significant increase in defects and defects compared to previous years. While the vehicle passed, the presence of multiple worn tyres, thinning brake pads, and a worn lower suspension arm bush suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach the point of failure or trigger an MOT advisory. At 124,122 miles over 11 years, the Jeep averages approximately 11,300 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK road usage for a large SUV. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 10,700 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 18,700 miles followed by December 2025. This steady mileage accumulation confirms that the mechanical components, particularly the heavy suspension and braking system, have been subjected to consistent wear over the decade. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and damping systems. The record shows a persistent oil misting on both rear shock absorbers dating back to 2023, which has not been rectified. The 2025 advisory for a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush indicates the beginning of a suspension geometry issue that will soon require expensive replacement. Furthermore, the noted oil leak in the December 2025 test requires a thorough check to determine if it is a minor valve cover leak or a more significant engine seal failure. The braking system and tyres also require attention. The December 2025 test flagged thin rear brake pads and three out of four tyres worn to the legal limit with some showing uneven wear or physical damage. This suggests the previous owner has been neglecting basic consumable maintenance. The defective rear exhaust mounting is a minor issue but should be secured to prevent noise or structural damage, while the excessive tinting on the windows remains a recurring non-compliance that does not affect mechanical integrity but reflects a lack of attention to detail..
