2014 Jeep Cherokee 2.0L Diesel · LS64 TGK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT inspection on 23 May 2026 at 122,742 miles, yet the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to upkeep. Testers flagged all four tyres as worn close to the legal limit or on the edge, suggesting the previous owner delayed replacement until the last possible moment. This pattern of running consumables down to the minimum tread depth mirrors the May 2023 test, where an offside rear tyre received a similar advisory. While the car is currently roadworthy, the recurring tyre wear points to a lack of preventative care. The mileage history presents significant irregularities that require verification. The record shows 110,352 miles in April 2024, yet inexplicably dropped to 71,536 miles by June 2025 before jumping sharply to 122,742 miles in May 2026. This fluctuation of nearly 40,000 miles downwards followed by a 51,000-mile annual increase suggests a potential odometer discrepancy, instrument cluster change, or clerical error during the 2025 test. Apart from this anomaly, the vehicle has covered substantial mileage recently, placing higher stress on mechanical components. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough check of the chassis geometry and suspension. The consistent advisory notes regarding tyres worn on the edge imply potential tracking or alignment issues, rather than simple wear and tear. You should also inspect the braking system immediately. Although the April 2024 test noted rear brake pads wearing thin, the lack of subsequent comments does not guarantee renewal, especially given the high mileage accumulated since then. Verify that the pads and discs have adequate material remaining and check for any signs of corrosion on brake lines or calipers.
