2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L Diesel · SF20 SXC

The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a single MOT entry from 2023, recorded at 23,135 miles, which is low for its age. The vehicle was both passed and failed on the same day, indicating inconsistent outcomes for the same inspection. The failed test identified three critical issues: a non-functional Engine MIL (malfunction indicator light), a front tyre worn close to the legal limit, and excessive vertical movement in the steering wheel. The passed test noted the same tyre wear, suggesting this was a recurring concern. The repeated mention of front tyre wear implies potential alignment or suspension issues, which could worsen over time if unaddressed. The Engine MIL being inoperative is a safety risk, as it may hide underlying engine faults. The steering wheel movement points to possible wear in the steering system, which could compromise handling. These issues, combined with the low mileage, suggest the vehicle may have experienced periods of under-use or storage, which can lead to component degradation despite minimal driven miles. The mileage of 23,135 miles (around 3,856 miles per year) is significantly lower than average for a 6-year-old vehicle. While this could indicate light use, it also raises questions about long-term storage or infrequent driving, which might affect fluid freshness, battery health, and rubber components.
