2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L Diesel · SP64 VRO

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a consistent trend of reactive rather than proactive brake care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 133,826 miles flagged thin front and rear brake pads along with pitted and scored front discs. This mirrors the exact defects recorded in the 2024 test at 126,716 miles, suggesting that the owner is delaying brake service intervals until components reach the threshold of an MOT advisory. At 133,826 miles over 11 years, this Jeep averages approximately 12,166 miles per year, which sits above the national average for a passenger vehicle. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between September 2024 and October 2025, and another 8,800 miles in the preceding year. This high level of usage puts significant strain on heavy-duty components, which explains the recurring wear patterns observed on the braking system. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The failure in October 2023 due to a binding nearside rear service brake indicates a potential issue with the caliper slider pins or the wheel cylinder that may recur. Furthermore, the 2023 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on the nearside rear suggests an underlying alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the high mileage and the age of the vehicle, close attention should be paid to corrosion on the control arms and the integrity of the shock absorbers to ensure no further structural degradation is present.
