2014 Jeep Cherokee 2.0L Diesel · SH64 YRK

The most recent MOT on 26 May 2026 resulted in a pass after a prior failure the same day. The pass still recorded wear to the off‑side front lower suspension arm pin or bush (not excessive movement) and slight cracking or perishing of both rear tyres. The earlier failure was due to an inoperative or malfunctioning engine MIL, which was cleared before the retest. A clear pattern emerges from the history: the suspension bush wear and rear‑tyre cracking appear in both the 2026 tests, the rear brake discs showed wear/pitting/corrosion in the 2025 test, and the engine MIL fault was present only in the 2026 failure. These items were not recorded in the 2024 or 2023 passes, indicating that the defects have developed recently and the condition trend is worsening for those components. The vehicle’s mileage of about 104,200 miles over roughly 12 years gives an average of 8,700 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This suggests the wear observed is consistent with normal use rather than unusually high mileage or prolonged storage; there is no evidence to indicate extreme hard use or long periods of inactivity. For a buyer, the priority checks are: inspect the off‑side front lower suspension arm bush for any play or excessive wear, examine both rear tyres for cracking, perishing or damage, check the rear brake discs for scoring, pitting or corrosion, verify that the engine MIL illuminates correctly at start‑up and stays off thereafter, and take a test drive listening for any unusual suspension noises or vibrations.
