2021 Jeep Cherokee 3.2L Petrol · AE70 EVW

The Jeep Cherokee passed its most recent MOT in December 2024, but you should be aware that this certificate is now nearly 18 months old relative to today's date. The vehicle actually failed first on that same day at 44,649 miles before passing later, which highlights a specific maintenance oversight that was quickly rectified. The most significant risk in the history is the failure recorded for a nearside rear road wheel fixing being loose. This is a serious safety defect that suggests the wheel may have been removed previously and not torqued to the correct specification, or it indicates general neglect. While this was fixed to secure the pass, it is a major red flag for a buyer. The other failure items, an insecure rear fog lamp switch and an illegible registration plate, are minor cosmetic or electrical issues. Prior to 2024, the vehicle showed a stable condition with clean passes in 2023 and 2022. The 2022 test recorded windscreen damage, but this was noted as not affecting the driver's view and has not appeared in subsequent records, suggesting it was likely resolved. The trend shifted in late 2024 with the mechanical failure, breaking the previous pattern of reliability. The mileage of 44,649 miles is roughly typical for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging about 8,930 miles per year.
