2018 Jeep Cherokee 2.2L Diesel · SW18 NCA

The 2018 Jeep Cherokee presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 9 June 2026 at 39,058 miles with zero defects. That result erases the only blemish on the record, a failure logged on 31 May 2023 at 28,296 miles for deep cuts reaching the ply or cords on both rear tyres. Since that failure the car has passed three consecutive annual tests without a single advisory or defect, indicating the previous owner addressed the tyre damage promptly and has maintained the vehicle consistently since. The mileage profile tells a story of very light use. Across roughly eight years the odometer has advanced just 39,058 miles, averaging approximately 4,882 miles per year. The annual increments between tests are steady and narrow: 3,818 miles between May 2023 and May 2024, 3,818 miles again between May 2024 and June 2025, and 3,849 miles between June 2025 and June 2026. There are no sudden jumps suggesting long-distance touring, nor suspiciously large gaps that might hint at a rolled-back odometer. The vehicle appears to have been driven gently and regularly rather than left standing for extended periods. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough physical inspection. The 2023 tyre failure exposed structural damage deep enough to reach the cord layer, so both rear tyres should be checked for age-related sidewall deterioration, uneven tread wear, and correct inflation. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers deserve close scrutiny given the low annual mileage, as infrequent use can cause rubber components to perish from age rather than wear. Brake discs and pads should be measured for thickness and corrosion, particularly if the car has been parked for long spells. The underside needs inspection for structural rust, especially around suspension mounting points, subframes, and the exhaust system, since surface corrosion can accelerate on a vehicle that sees short trips rather than sustained driving. A test drive will reveal any binding calipers, tracking issues, or drivetrain vibrations that a static MOT inspection might not capture.
