2014 Jeep Wrangler 2.8L Diesel · LD14 FRC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 22 May 2026 at 58,952 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner consistently addressed identified faults between testing cycles. A failure just four days prior to the passing test on 18 May 2026 revealed a parking brake efficiency issue below legal requirements. The immediate rectification of this defect suggests the mechanism was adjusted or repaired rather than suffering from deep-seated mechanical failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage over recent intervals, with 2,750 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 3,910 miles recorded in the most recent year. While low mileage generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, infrequent use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts like suspension bushes or cause corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the parking brake mechanism and hydraulic systems to ensure the recent repair remains robust. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector must check for dry rot on the tyres and perished seals, which are common in older vehicles that have not been driven frequently. The failure in June 2025 regarding rear lighting assemblies indicates a minor electrical bulb issue, but a thorough check of the wiring loom for corrosion would be prudent to prevent future intermittent lighting failures.
