AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

A pattern of rear‑coil‑spring corrosion combined with recurring front‑tyre wear issues dominates this 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee’s MOT history. The most recent test in September 2021 recorded a pass, yet it still flagged a slightly corroded front brake hose ferrule and thin rear brake pads, while the rear coil‑spring corrosion advisory has persisted across three separate years (2017, 2019 and 2021). Front‑tyre failures have also appeared repeatedly, with a cut tyre in 2018 and an off‑side front tyre below the legal tread depth in 2020, indicating a tendency for the front wheels to reach the end of their service life sooner than the rear. At 113,955 mi over roughly 19 years the vehicle averages just under 6,000 mi per annum, well below the typical UK usage rate for a vehicle of this age. Such low annual mileage can imply periods of limited use, which may have reduced overall wear on drivetrain components but can also encourage moisture‑related corrosion on suspension parts that are not regularly exercised. The MOT record shows no large gaps in testing, with annual checks between 2017 and 2021, suggesting the mileage figure is reasonably reliable and that the vehicle has not experienced sudden high‑mileage bursts that would accelerate wear on bearings, CV joints or the transmission. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the rear suspension. Inspect the rear coil springs for surface rust, pitting or compromised integrity, and feel for any looseness or clunking when the vehicle is driven over bumps or when the wheels are rocked by hand. Any audible knocking or a change in ride height may indicate that the corroded springs have lost stiffness and could require replacement. Front‑tyre condition should be verified visually and by measuring tread depth; given the history of cuts and low tread, it is prudent to budget for new front tyres and to check the wheel rims for damage that may have contributed to the previous failures. The brake system also warrants close scrutiny. The advisory about a corroded front brake hose ferrule suggests the hose may be nearing the end of its service life; look for any external leakage, soft pedal feel or uneven braking when applying pressure. Thin rear pads should be measured; if the remaining friction material is below the legal minimum, replacement will be necessary. Finally, confirm that all lighting functions flagged in past tests—off‑side rear fog lamp, washer pump, and near‑side mirror—operate correctly, as these items have previously caused failures and will need to be functional to pass a future MOT.

Our Verdict

This 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD Limite

Inspect the brake system thoroughly before purchase, paying particular attention to the front brake hoses and rear pads — both flagged on the 2021 MOT. Even though these were advisories rather than failures, they represent items that may now require replacement given that nearly five years have passed since the test. Check for any subsequent MOT certificates or service invoices covering the period from 2021 onwards, as the vehicle may have had further tests that are not reflected in the data shown here. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with Mercedes-sourced diesel engines (this generation used the OM642 unit) is highly advisable. Look for evidence of regular oil and filter changes, as these engines are sensitive to extended service intervals, particularly with regard to the timing chain, EGR valve, and swirl flap components. Budget for replacement of wear items including suspension bushes, propshaft centre bearings, and anti-roll bar drop links, which are common on high-mileage examples.

Fuel economy for the 3.0 CRD typically sits in the 25–30 mpg real-world range, which is reasonable for a large SUV of this size but noticeably less efficient than modern alternatives. Road tax for a 2007 diesel of this engine size will fall in a higher bracket, so check the current VED position before purchase. Insurance is likely to sit in groups 40+ reflecting the vehicle's performance and value, so obtain a quote before committing. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £1,800–£2,400, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance. Higher-mileage diesel SUVs of this age often require more frequent attention to suspension, braking, and emissions components, so set aside a contingency fund for unexpected repairs. Specialist parts and labour for Jeep vehicles can be more expensive than for mainstream brands, which is worth factoring into your total ownership calculation.

Begin with a careful inspection of the braking system, referencing the advisories recorded at the 2021 MOT — the front brake hose ferrule corrosion and rear brake pad wear should both be assessed for current condition. Given the model aggregate data highlights brake pads and headlamp issues as common failure points, give these areas particular attention. Check all lights for operation and lens condition, and inspect the discs for wear beyond service limits. Beyond the MOT-recorded items, this generation of Grand Cherokee is known for issues with the lower control arm bushes, rear air suspension components (where fitted), and the diesel engine's swirl flap/turbo actuator. Inspect the underside for oil leaks from the engine and gearbox, and check the propshaft for play in the centre bearing. Examine the bodywork for the corrosion that affects this era of Jeep, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and tailgate. Finally, verify that all electrical systems function correctly, including the infotainment and climate control, as repairs can be disproportionately costly.

This silver 2985cc diesel Grand Cherokee was first registered in April 2007 and has covered 113,955 miles across roughly 14 years of use, equating to around 7,800 miles per year — modestly above the 6,510-mile model average. The single recorded MOT test from September 2021 resulted in a pass with two advisory notes relating to brake components. Against a model pass rate of 74.1%, this particular record shows no failures, though the limited MOT sample size means the picture is incomplete. Buyers should approach with realistic expectations given the age, mileage, and known diesel-era Jeep reliability characteristics.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee CRD of this generation has an MOT pass rate of 74.1% across 1,860 analysed vehicles, which is below average and indicates that buyers should expect a reasonable probability of issues arising at test time. The most common failure reasons relate to headlights, parking brake efficiency, and brake pads.
