2016 Jeep Cherokee 2.2L Diesel · LO11 TUG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline regarding front-end components. While it passed the latest test in June 2025 at 75,087 miles, it did so with multiple advisories that were present the previous year. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to recurring mechanical defects in the most recent tests suggests a shift toward reactive maintenance rather than proactive preventative care. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. There is a notable usage spike between October 2023 and June 2024, where the car covered over 8,000 miles in just eight months, followed by a more standard interval of 14,000 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This steady level of use likely explains the accelerated wear observed on the braking and suspension components identified in the later MOT records. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover was flagged as severely deteriorated in both 2024 and 2025, indicating a high risk of joint failure and grease ingress if not replaced immediately. Furthermore, the front brake discs and pads have been noted as thin and pitted across two consecutive tests. You should verify if these components have been replaced since the June 2025 test, as the pitting on the discs indicates significant surface corrosion.
