Our Verdict
A reasonable purchase for those seeking
Prioritise the resolution of the August 2026 MOT advisory regarding the nearside front lower suspension arm bush, as suspension arms are a known common failure point for this model across the wider fleet. You should also verify if the brake discs and pads mentioned in the 2023 and 2024 advisories were replaced, as pitted or scored discs can affect braking performance over time.
Given the low annual mileage of approximately 6,000 miles, check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes and long-distance runs to ensure the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has been properly maintained and not clogged by short-trip urban driving.
As a 1.9L diesel, this Cherokee will offer better fuel economy on long journeys than petrol equivalents, though tax will be based on its 2016 CO2 emissions bracket. Insurance groups for the Cherokee tend to be moderate to high, reflecting its size and vehicle class.
Maintenance costs for Jeep vehicles are typically higher than for mass-market brands. Budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items like suspension bushes and brake components, which have already appeared in this vehicle's MOT history.
Perform a detailed inspection of the nearside front lower suspension arm to assess the extent of the bush wear noted in the 2026 MOT. Check the security of the undertray, as this has been a recurring point of interest in the 2025 and 2026 tests.
Inspect the front tyres specifically for wear on the inner edges; the 2024 MOT noted they were close to the legal limit on the inner edges, which can be a sign of incorrect wheel alignment or suspension geometry issues. Finally, examine the brake discs for any remaining pitting or scoring mentioned in previous years.
This blue 2016 Jeep Cherokee Diesel has recorded 60,159 miles, which is below the model's average annual usage. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes since 2022, although the records include several advisories regarding brake discs and suspension components. It represents a low-mileage example of the model, though it shows typical age-related wear.
The Cherokee has an average MOT pass rate of 82.8%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.
