2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland CRD A 3.0L Diesel · GV62 CTZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with a clean MOT passed on 7 January 2025 at 135,152 miles—its first full test in over a year and free of any defects. This follows three consecutive passes since late 2022, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no recurring mechanical failures. The absence of advisories or failures in the last two tests suggests the vehicle has been properly maintained in recent years. Mileage accumulation over the past 14 years averages 9,654 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the December 2023 and January 2025 tests is unusually long at 13 months, but the mileage increase of just 9,025 miles over that period confirms consistent, moderate use. There are no signs of rapid mileage spikes or long-term storage, and the progression from 103,263 miles in 2021 to 135,152 today is linear and unremarkable. The only notable defects in the record occurred in December 2022: a misaligned offside headlamp and a failed registration plate lamp. These are minor, non-structural issues easily corrected and unlikely to indicate deeper problems. The 2021 advisory about a child seat obstructing belt inspection was a procedural observation, not a mechanical fault. A buyer should still inspect the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these are common wear items on a vehicle of this age and mileage. The exhaust system and rear axle seals should also be checked for signs of corrosion or leakage, particularly given the vehicle’s diesel engine and age. No structural rust or drivetrain concerns have been flagged, but a thorough underbody inspection is advised before purchase.
