Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. This vehicle has h
The primary concern for this vehicle is the corrosion noted on the inner sills during the 2023 MOT. You should have a qualified mechanic assess the extent of this rust to ensure the structural integrity has not deteriorated further since the last test. Additionally, verify the maintenance records for the bi-fuel system, as these require specific care compared to standard petrol engines.
Given the high mileage and the age of the vehicle, negotiate the price based on the imminent need to replace the worn suspension components flagged in the MOT history. Ensure there is evidence of regular oil changes for the V6 engine to mitigate long-term wear.
Running costs for this vehicle will be high. The 3.7L V6 engine is large, and while the bi-fuel setup can reduce fuel costs, the vehicle will likely fall into a high tax bracket and insurance group due to its engine size and age.
Maintenance costs are expected to be above average. With 173,032 miles on the clock and documented wear in the suspension and bodywork, frequent repairs are likely. Annual costs will be driven by fuel, high road tax, and the need for ongoing mechanical upkeep.
Prioritise an inspection of the integral body structure, specifically the inner sills, as the September 2023 MOT recorded corrosion here. Check the nearside front track rod end for play and the bushes on the rear Y-shaped axle control arms, both of which were listed as worn advisories.
These suspension issues mirror the wider model data, where suspension arms are a top reason for MOT failure. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear, which may indicate that the previously noted suspension play has affected the vehicle's alignment.
This 2005 black Jeep Cherokee Limited is powered by a 3.7L V6 bi-fuel engine and has recorded 173,032 miles. While it passed its most recent MOT in September 2023, the test flagged corrosion to the inner sills and wear in the suspension system. Its total mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 5,107 miles per year.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 71.7%, with suspension arms and headlamps being common failure points.
