2019 Jeep Cherokee 2.2L Diesel · KE68 FTT

Based on the history up to June 2026, this Jeep Cherokee presents a picture of a vehicle entering a maintenance-heavy phase of its life. The most recent test in January 2026 resulted in a pass, but the list of advisories is significant and suggests a worsening trend in mechanical condition. Historically, the car had a clean record until 2024, with only a minor tyre wear note that year. By early 2025, there was a failure for headlamp aim and a broken lens, which was rectified immediately. However, the gap between the clean history and the current state is concerning. The 2026 test reveals multiple wear items appearing at once: front brake discs are scored, a shock absorber is misting oil, and there is a non-excessive oil leak. The most pressing evidence of a recurring issue lies with the front tyres. In 2024, the nearside front tyre was noted as worn on the outer edge. By 2026, both front tyres are worn close to the legal limit, with the offside front specifically noted as bald on the inner edge. This pattern of edge wear on both sides over time suggests a potential alignment or tracking issue that has not been resolved, rather than simple fair wear and tear.
