2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L Diesel · MY17 JEN

The most recent MOT from March 2026 shows two brake disc defects, both marked as worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened. These front brake disc issues appeared at 25,950 miles. The MOT history reveals a concerning pattern where previously clean inspections suddenly developed brake problems. The vehicle passed four consecutive tests from 2021 through early 2025 without any defects, then developed front brake disc issues within the last twelve months. The condition trend appears to be worsening. After nearly five years of clean MOTs covering approximately 18,000 miles of driving, brake deterioration emerged relatively quickly during the most recent 4,000 miles of use. The vehicle has very low annual mileage at roughly 2,883 miles per year over nine years. This light usage pattern typically means less mechanical wear, though brake discs can still deteriorate from infrequent use, moisture exposure, or simply age-related corrosion. Low mileage combined with sudden brake disc problems suggests possible storage periods followed by occasional use, which can cause brake components to corrode and deteriorate unevenly. The pitting and scoring on both front discs indicates significant surface wear that needs immediate attention.
