Our Verdict
We would steer clear of this 2007 Jeep C
Given the recent advisory list, budget immediately for replacement front brake pads, a new exhaust mounting, attention to the CV joint boots on both front drive shafts, and investigation of the oil leak. The rear brake binding issue should be inspected by a garage to confirm whether it is a sticking caliper or just a seized handbrake mechanism. The underbody surface corrosion noted in 2023 is a particular concern on a vehicle of this age and mileage, so arrange an underbody inspection on a ramp before committing. With the model pass rate at 69.3%, approach any seller expecting heavy negotiation, and treat the MOT advisory count as a baseline for repair costs rather than the final figure.
The mileage progression of around 10,000 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests is broadly consistent with the model's 4,471-mile annual average, which suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than left standing. However, the high absolute mileage of 143,366 means wear items such as timing belt, water pump, and turbocharger components should be considered due regardless of any service history you are shown. Ask to see any receipts for the CRD-specific maintenance (fuel filter changes, injector cleaning, and EGR valve attention) which are known to be important on this engine variant. Do not pay a premium simply because it has just passed an MOT — the advisory list alone indicates several hundred pounds of imminent work.
Fuel economy on the 2.5 CRD automatic typically sits in the 25-30 mpg range for mixed driving, dropping noticeably if the vehicle is used for towing. Road tax for a 2007 diesel of this engine size will fall in a higher bracket, and with many urban clean air zone schemes now charging for older diesels, factor in daily ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges depending on where you live. Insurance group for the Cherokee Limited tends to sit in the upper groups, so obtain a quote before viewing to avoid surprises. Routine maintenance such as brake pads, discs, and an exhaust mounting can easily run £400-£600 at a specialist. Taking fuel, tax, insurance, and an allowance for the advisory repairs into account, expect an annual running cost in the region of £1,800-£2,400.
Start with the CV joint boots — both sides showed severe deterioration in 2023, and replacement once split can cost £250-£400 per side. Inspect the exhaust mounting and the rest of the exhaust system for corrosion, as this is a top-three failure reason for the model nationally. Check the underbody thoroughly for corrosion beyond what was recorded as 'surface' level, paying close attention to suspension arms, jacking points, and the rear chassis rails. Open the bonnet and look for signs of the oil leak noted in 2023 — a CRD engine typically leaks from the rocker cover gasket, turbo oil feed pipes, or sump, and turbo repairs in particular can be expensive.
Also inspect the rear brake mechanism to confirm whether the binding issue has worsened or has been rectified, and verify battery security as that was the direct cause of the October 2023 fail. Listen for clonks from the front suspension over speed bumps, as the Cherokee of this age commonly suffers from worn drop links, bushes, and anti-roll bar mountings. Finally, test the automatic gearbox for smooth changes on a road drive — the 2.5 CRD auto combination is known to feel hesitant when the torque converter or gearbox oil is overdue for renewal.
This MM07XMT-registered Jeep Cherokee is a black diesel automatic first registered in July 2007, powered by a 2,499cc CRD engine. The MOT history shows two tests on the same day in October 2023, with an initial fail (due to an insecure battery) followed by a pass once that was addressed, though the same advisory list remained. Mileage has risen from 133,320 in September 2022 to 143,366 a year later, indicating roughly 10,000 miles of use in that interval. The aggregate pass rate of 69.3% for this model sits well below the UK average of around 85%.
Across 1,401 examples analysed, this model posts a 69.3% MOT pass rate, placing it firmly in the below-average reliability bracket. The most common failure reasons — headlamp issues, corrosion, and exhaust defects — are consistent with the advisories already appearing on this individual vehicle.
