2018 Jeep Cherokee 2.0L Diesel · KX68 KCE

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 63,595 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a cut off offside rear tyre. This indicates that the primary mechanical and structural components are currently meeting minimum safety standards, though the history shows a pattern of minor consumable-related issues rather than significant mechanical failure over time. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 32,602 miles and the August 2025 test at 63,595 miles, the Jeep covered roughly 31,000 miles, reflecting a regular usage profile. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which often leads to premature degradation of rubber components and seized calipers despite the occasional tyre issues noted in earlier records. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the September 2023 test at 43,967 miles flagged front brake discs as worn, pitted. While the vehicle passed subsequently, surface pitting on discs often indicates the pads may be nearing the end of their life or were exposed to moisture. Given the history of tyre damage and perishing in 2021 and 2025, a thorough check of the sidewalls and tread depth across all tyres is necessary to ensure no hidden structural damage exists. The age and mileage of the vehicle also suggest inspecting the suspension bushings for signs of cracking or tearing, as these are common points of wear on this specific model.
