2021 Jeep Wrangler 2.0L Petrol · LM71 AAX

The 2021 Jeep Wrangler presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 15 April 2026 at 32,197 miles with zero defects recorded. The most recent test is reassuringly current, sitting just over two months before today's date of 18 June 2026, meaning the vehicle's roadworthiness has been formally verified very recently. The only advisory in the entire history was a minor one, and its absence from the 2026 test suggests it has been rectified. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a five-year-old vehicle. Between the December 2024 test at 22,852 miles and the December 2025 test at 29,883 miles, the vehicle covered 7,031 miles over twelve months. That figure then dropped to 2,314 miles between December 2025 and April 2026, indicating a quieter period of use in the most recent interval. Overall, the annualised average of roughly 6,439 miles sits squarely within typical expectations for a vehicle of this age and type, with no suspicious gaps or sudden surges in the odometer record. The sole advisory across the entire history appeared on 10 December 2025, when the tester noted light oil misting on all four shock absorbers. This is a common observation on vehicles used for off-road or uneven-surface driving, and the fact that it did not reappear in April 2026 suggests the units were either replaced or resealed. A prospective buyer should still physically inspect the shock absorbers for fresh signs of weeping or damping loss, particularly if the vehicle has seen trail or farm use. The Wrangler's live-axle suspension and recirculating-ball steering box deserve close examination for play or uneven wear, given the vehicle's likely lifestyle. Beyond the suspension, a buyer should check the condition of the brake discs and pads, the condition of all four tyres for uneven wear given the part-time four-wheel-drive system, and the underside for corrosion on the chassis rails and suspension mounting points. The clean recent MOT is encouraging, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm that the vehicle's mechanical condition matches the paper record.
