2013 Jeep Cherokee 3.6L Petrol · GD62 OEZ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 26 October 2023 at 222,753 miles, indicating it remains roadworthy at present, though the advisory on front tyres worn close to the legal limit and edged wear suggests consumable wear has progressed without corrective action since that test—this points to a stable but deteriorating maintenance trend rather than improvement. Mileage accumulation is high for a 13-year-old vehicle: from 76,719 miles in October 2019 to 222,753 miles in October 2023, it added 146,034 miles in just four years, averaging over 36,500 miles annually. Prior to that, growth was slower—only 5,799 miles between October 2019 and July 2020, and 10,895 miles between July 2020 and June 2021—suggesting a period of heavier use later in its life, likely intensifying wear on brakes, suspension, and drivetrain components. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension bushes and steering links, given the tyre wear pattern pointing to possible misalignment or worn components; the rear shock absorbers showed light oil misting in 2019, and no further MOT comments suggest the issue did not worsen, so inspect for渗漏 or reduced damping. The repeated indicator bulb discolouration in 2021—though minor—may indicate poor seating or moisture ingress in the light units, worth checking for corrosion or faulty connections. With such high mileage, the brake discs and pads should be inspected for excessive wear or scoring, especially as front tyres were already borderline legal at the last test, implying heavy braking use. Structural rust is not flagged in the record, but given the mileage and age, underbody and wheel archs should still be visually checked for corrosion.
