2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L Diesel · RJ14 GGF

Across seven recorded MOTs the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee has shown a consistently clean roadworthiness profile, with only a single minor failure for insufficient windscreen‑washer fluid on the 2023‑04‑24 test and an advisory for near‑ and off‑side front tyre tread depth in 2021. All other examinations, including the most recent on 2 February 2026, returned a pass with no defects, indicating that no serious safety‑critical components have been flagged by the DVSA in recent years. The odometer reads 110,616 mi after roughly twelve years, averaging about 9,200 mi per annum. This mileage sits within the typical range for a vehicle of this age and suggests a moderate level of use rather than extreme high‑kilometre running or prolonged storage. The MOT schedule shows no gaps longer than a year, confirming regular testing and, by implication, regular road use. Such an accumulation rate generally translates to progressive wear on consumables—tires, brakes, suspension bushings and drivetrain components—so these items should be inspected for age‑related degradation irrespective of the recorded mileage. Given the 2021 tyre‑wear advisory, a prospective buyer should examine the front tyres for tread depth, sidewall condition and any signs of uneven wear that could point to mis‑alignment, worn suspension bushes or compromised steering geometry. During a test drive listen for a humming or growling noise over bumps, feel for any pulling to one side, and verify that the steering returns to centre promptly. Inspect the rear tyres as well, as they may have accumulated wear unnoticed by the MOT. The isolated washer‑fluid failure in 2023 indicates a likely weak pump or a clogged nozzle; a quick functional check of the washer system—activating the spray while observing fluid flow and coverage—will confirm whether the issue has been remedied or persists. While no other defects have been recorded, the vehicle’s age means that ancillary items such as brake pads, discs, suspension bushings and engine mounts should be examined for typical wear. Look for any pulsation or judder in the brake pedal under moderate pressure, listen for squeaks or clunks from the suspension when traversing speed bumps, and check for any fluid leaks around the engine bay and under the chassis. Addressing these points during a pre‑purchase inspection will provide a clearer picture of the Grand Cherokee’s current mechanical condition beyond the MOT history.
