2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L Diesel · WM64 UKJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in March 2026, but the immediate history reveals a concerning trend of reactive maintenance. While the car passed its MOT on 13 March 2026 at 83,492 miles, it failed just ten days prior due to multiple critical defects. The presence of an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Light combined with severe tyre failures and a binding offside front brake caliper suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when forced by a failure rather than performing preventative servicing. At 12 years old, the recorded 83,492 miles average approximately 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a large SUV. However, the mileage data shows a significant surge in activity between February 2023 and February 2024, where the vehicle covered 9,943 miles in a single year, followed by a more modest pace of 6,528 miles the following year. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have undergone longer periods of standing, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and brake assemblies despite the low overall odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry due to recurring issues. The tester flagged a binding offside front service brake in 2026 and thin brake pads in 2023, indicating potential caliper corrosion or neglect. Furthermore, the history of inner-edge wear on front tyres across 2025 and 2026 suggests a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes and bushings that have not been properly rectified. The reported engine MIL failure also necessitates a diagnostic scan to ensure no hidden fault codes remain present despite the cleared light.
