2014 Jeep Cherokee 2.0L Diesel · WP64 SVR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deteriorating suspension and tyre components. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 102,048 miles passed, it followed a failure just two days prior. That failure highlighted critical issues including both front lower suspension arm bushes and a dangerously worn nearside rear tyre with exposed cords. Although these faults were rectified to achieve the pass, the recurring nature of worn arm bushes suggests that the owner only reacts to MOT failures rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 102,048 miles over twelve years, the Jeep averages approximately 8,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a large SUV of this age. The record shows consistent use, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between the August 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,000 miles between September 2023 and August 2024. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods but contributes to the wear observed on rubber components and braking hardware. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the history shows multiple failures regarding lower arm bushes across several years. The tester also noted light misting on the nearside front shock absorber in 2025, which indicates the beginning of a seal failure that will eventually require replacement. The presence of a transmission oil leak noted in the most recent tests warrants a thorough check to ensure it remains minor and does not indicate a significant drippage rate. Furthermore, given the history of pitted and scored rear brake discs from 2022, the current state of the rotors should be checked for excessive thinning or uneven wear.
