2016 Jeep Cherokee 2.2L Diesel · EX16 ACU

The 2016 Jeep Cherokee’s most recent MOT test on 19 November 2025 at 80,654 miles passed without any defects, confirming it remains roadworthy under current UK standards. The test history shows no recurring failures or advisories, though two back-to-back tests in late 2023 and late 2024—one pass, one fail—suggest a brief period of uncertainty. Since November 2024, the vehicle has maintained a clean record, indicating either consistent maintenance or a well-executed repair cycle. The absence of advisories in recent tests is particularly notable, as it implies no ongoing issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, which are common failure points in this model. The recorded mileage of 80,654 miles over ten years aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 8,065 miles annually. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests—just five days—stands out, as does the rapid accumulation of 11,215 miles between November 2023 and November 2024. This suggests either seasonal use patterns or a period of higher mileage, which could accelerate wear on consumables like brakes and tyres. The lack of intermediate MOTs or service records means there’s no direct evidence of preventive maintenance, though the clean test history mitigates some concerns. Given the sparse MOT data, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear axle and steering linkages, where wear can develop silently. The brakes—though not explicitly flagged—should be checked for uneven pad thickness or warped discs, especially if the vehicle was driven hard during the high-mileage period. Exhaust emissions were not noted as a concern, but a visual inspection for leaks or corrosion around the catalytic converter is advisable. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, should be scrutinised for signs of rust or bodywork repairs, as these are critical for long-term safety. The absence of advisories in recent tests is reassuring, but physical inspection remains essential to verify the vehicle’s true condition beyond the MOT’s limited scope.
