2012 Jeep Wrangler Sahara CRD 197 Auto 2.8L Diesel · AJ51 CAS

The Jeep Wrangler Sahara CRD presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 27 March 2026 at 74,893 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults across the last three annual cycles. A failed entry on the same date as the pass suggests an administrative correction rather than a mechanical defect, mirroring the pattern seen on 27 March 2025 when a fail at 71,425 miles was followed by a pass at 71,430 miles next day with no faults listed. Recorded mileage sits at 74,893 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 5,350 miles per year. The odometer moved just 3,463 miles between the April 2024 test at 68,516 miles and the March 2026 pass, confirming light use for a diesel 4x4. The sparse record shows clean passes aside from the two zero-defect fails, which points to a low-mileage vehicle that has not accumulated heavy consumable wear nor been subjected to frequent harsh duty. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, particularly chassis rails and outriggers, given the Wrangler's off-road design and 14-year age. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks despite the absence of advisories, as MOT passes with no defects do not confirm component remaining life. The twin zero-defect failures imply clerical errors at the testing station rather than owner neglect, though previous keeper discipline on basic upkeep appears sound based on the clean mechanical history.
