2014 Jeep Cherokee 2.0L Diesel · WR64 NHG

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 29 May 2026 at 129,559 miles, though this status was secured just three days after a failure for dangerous tyre defects. The maintenance history displays a reactive pattern where critical failures are addressed only after they occur rather than through preventative upkeep. While the recent pass confirms the car is roadworthy, the rapid succession of a fail and pass suggests minimal rectification work was done, specifically regarding the rear brakes which remain on an advisory list for thin pads. Mileage accumulation has accelerated significantly in the last two years, contradicting the typical average for a vehicle of this age. Between May 2024 and May 2025, the odometer rose from 96,645 miles to 114,882 miles, an increase of over 18,000 miles in a single year. The subsequent year saw a further jump of nearly 15,000 miles, bringing the total to 129,559 miles. This high-intensity usage places substantial stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, explaining the rapid degradation of tyres and bushes observed in the test records. A prospective buyer must rigorously inspect the rear suspension geometry and tyre condition. The tester flagged excessively worn suspension arm bushes on both sides during the May 2025 failure, which had previously been noted as merely worn in 2024, indicating a progressive decline in structural integrity. Furthermore, the history reveals a chronic neglect of rubber components, with the vehicle failing twice on tyre tread depth and once on exposed ply cords. Given the advisory on rear brake pads, the braking system requires immediate measurement to ensure sufficient lining material remains before the next service interval.
