2014 Jeep Cherokee 2.0L Diesel · SH64 YKO

This 2014 Jeep Cherokee, with 78,464 miles, presents a pattern of recurring brake and suspension-related defects that should be a primary concern. The mileage relative to its 12-year age is broadly average, suggesting typical use, but the MOT history points to a vehicle where wear items have often been flagged close to or at their limits. The most recent MOT in May 2026 was a pass, but it immediately highlights ongoing issues. An oil leak was noted, and both front and rear inner brake discs are described as worn, pitted, or scored. This, combined with a thin rear brake pad, shows that the braking system is under significant wear and likely needs immediate attention or replacement. Looking at the broader trend, the condition appears to be worsening. Just over a year prior, in April 2025, the vehicle failed its MOT due to a serious electronic parking brake malfunction, a warning light, and inadequate brake efficiency. While this specific issue was presumably repaired to allow a pass in May 2025, the latest report shows the mechanical braking components (discs and pads) are now deteriorating. Further back, in January 2023, the MOT record is very telling. It flagged thin rear brake pads, a worn front disc, and three tyres worn close to the legal limit or on their edges.
