2016 Jeep Cherokee 2.2L Diesel · DV16 RZP

The 2016 Jeep Cherokee passed its most recent MOT on 2026-03-10 at 89,256 miles, with a number of advisories that indicate a stable but ongoing trend of wear in the suspension and tyres. The tester flagged worn trailing arm bushes on both the nearside and offside rear, as well as worn front suspension arm pins or bushes, though none were resulting in excessive movement. Additionally, the prop shaft coupling was noted as worn, and the nearside front tyre was close to the legal limit. These issues, while not immediate safety concerns, suggest that regular maintenance is required to keep the vehicle in good condition. The recorded mileage of 89,256 miles over approximately 10 years indicates an average annual mileage of around 8,926 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The mileage pattern shows a steady increase, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation. From 2022 to 2026, the vehicle added about 51,340 miles, averaging roughly 12,835 miles per year, which is a slight increase from the earlier years. This consistent use suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly without long periods of inactivity, which can be beneficial for maintaining the mechanical components. A potential buyer should pay particular attention to the suspension and braking systems, given the recurring advisories. The suspension arm pins and bushes have been consistently noted as worn since 2024, indicating a gradual deterioration that may require replacement in the near future. The front brake discs have also shown signs of wear and corrosion, particularly in the 2023 and 2024 tests, suggesting that the braking system may need more frequent inspection and possible replacement of the discs. Additionally, the tyres, especially the nearside front, have been flagged for wear, so it would be prudent to check the current tread depth and consider replacement if necessary. Overall, while the vehicle is currently roadworthy, these areas of wear highlight the importance of regular maintenance to ensure continued reliability.
