2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L Diesel · GL17 PDY

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-15 shows a mixed outcome for the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. While the vehicle passed inspection, a separate record from the same date notes multiple failures, including non-conforming registration plates, a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), a nail in the nearside front tyre, and a significantly worn front inner brake disc. These issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with compliance and safety-critical components. Recurring mechanical patterns include TPMS failures and registration plate non-conformances, both appearing in multiple MOTs since 2023. The 2023-09-22 failure listed offside rear tyre tread below 1.6mm, while the 2025-09-15 failure highlighted a worn brake disc. Though some issues like brake disc wear were addressed by 2024, the repeated TPMS and registration plate problems indicate persistent or unresolved concerns. The trend suggests a worsening pattern, as newer failures include more severe issues like a worn brake disc and a damaged tyre. The vehicle’s mileage of 47,266 miles over 9 years equates to roughly 5,252 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could imply lighter use or periods of inactivity, potentially leading to component degradation from lack of use rather than wear. However, the low mileage does not fully explain the recurring failures, which may stem from maintenance oversights or design flaws.
