2012 Jeep Wrangler Sahara CRD 197 Auto 2.8L Diesel · OY62 OHN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest test indicates the onset of consumable wear. The April 2026 test at 65,750 miles flagged the nearside front brake pads as being down to the legal limit, and the presence of fluid or grease on both rear brake disc dust shields suggests a potential seal leak or contamination that requires monitoring to prevent brake failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between January 2023 at 48,378 miles and April 2024 at 52,847 miles, where the vehicle covered only 4,500 miles in over thirteen months. Since then, usage has increased slightly, covering roughly 6,000 miles per annum. This low annual mileage often leads to degradation of rubber components and seals due to age rather than wear, mileage alone would suggest. A buyer should physically inspect the rear braking system to identify the source of the grease noted on the dust shields, as this could indicate a leaking wheel cylinder or caliper bearing. The tyre pressure monitoring system failure in April 2024 should be verified as rectified to ensure the fault was rectified following the subsequent pass. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and an assessment of the suspension bushes is essential, as these components often perish through cracking when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods.
