2005 Jeep Cherokee 3.7L Petrol · OY55 CVC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record over the last four years. The most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 106,721 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just twelve days prior at 106,709 miles. This isolated failure with no recorded defects suggests an administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was rectified immediately before the retest, as the vehicle has maintained a clean sheet across all previous annual inspections. The mileage pattern is notably low for a vehicle of 21 years age, averaging approximately 5,082 miles per year. The data shows very slow accumulation, with only 574 miles recorded between October 2022 and September 2023 tests, and a further 1,072-mile gap between September 2023 and September 2024. While this low mileage indicates less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, such long periods of inactivity or minimal use often lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and dry rot in the braking and suspension systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as age-related corrosion is inevitable on older vehicles that MOT tests may not catch until critical. Given the low usage, check for seized brake calipers and perished suspension bushes which frequently occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Additionally inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking, as the age of the rubber likely exceeds its structural life regardless of the remaining depth.
