2015 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L Petrol · RO08 CON

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-22 showed a pass, but a critical defect was noted: the tyre protruding beyond the wheel arch (5.2.3 (f)). This issue was also recorded in the prior MOT on 2026-04-29, which resulted in a failure. The recurring tyre protrusion suggests a potential problem with wheel alignment, suspension components, or wheel arch damage that has not been resolved despite the latest pass. The April 2026 failure included multiple safety-critical issues: non-functional nearside headlamps (dipped and main beams), a faulty offside rear fog lamp, and a service brake system causing the vehicle to swerve. These defects indicate electrical faults, brake system inconsistencies, or alignment problems. While the May 2026 MOT passed, the persistence of the tyre protrusion defect implies unresolved underlying issues. The vehicle’s condition trend shows a significant failure in April 2026, followed by a pass just three weeks later. This suggests repairs were likely made, but the recurrence of the tyre protrusion defect raises concerns about whether the root cause was fully addressed. The lack of defects in MOTs from 2023 to 2025 indicates a period of stable performance prior to the 2026 failures. The vehicle’s mileage of 30,755 miles at 11 years old is low for its age, averaging 2,796 miles per year.
