2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited CRD A 3.0L Diesel · SA61 AWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 79,747 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to previous years where recurring braking issues were frequently flagged. While the history shows a period of neglect, the lack of advisories in the latest test suggests the current owner has addressed the mechanical concerns identified in the preceding inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per annum. However, there is a significant discrepancy in the recorded data between the August 2023 test at 95,685 miles and the August 2024 test at 70,082 miles. This regression of over 25,000 miles suggests either a clerical error in the DVSA database or an odometer rollback during that period. Despite this anomaly, the overall low mileage indicates limited mechanical wear, but increases potential degradation of rubber components and seals due to age rather than high-frequency use. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the rear braking system, as the record consistently flagged thin pads and pitted or scored discs across 2022, 2023, and 2024. Although the 2025 test was clean, a physical inspection should verify that discs and pads were actually replaced rather than merely adjusted for compliance. The slight oil leak from the power steering rack noted in 2023 also requires a visual check for active weeping or fluid loss, as these leaks can lead to steering failure if left ignored. Given the age and low mileage, a thorough check of suspension bushings and perished hoses is essential to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from dry rot while stationary.
