2014 Jeep Cherokee 2.0L Diesel · WT14 NLP

This Jeep Cherokee has a recent MOT pass from March 2025, but the history reveals a concerning pattern of neglected maintenance. While the mileage of 117,546 is typical for a 12-year-old vehicle, the jump from 64,766 miles in early 2024 to over 117,000 miles in early 2025 suggests very heavy usage in a short period, which likely accelerated the wear on consumables. The mechanical trend is worsening. The vehicle is increasingly failing on multiple fronts, specifically regarding suspension components, tyres, and electrical systems. The most recent failure in February 2025 was significant, involving engine management lights, coolant levels, and multiple lighting and suspension issues. Although the March 2025 pass cleared some of these, the recurring issues with worn tyres and deteriorated anti-roll bar dust covers suggest a reactive rather than proactive approach to servicing. The recurring failures on suspension bushings and tyres indicate that the vehicle is being driven hard or that maintenance is being deferred until an MOT failure occurs. The presence of an engine malfunction light and low coolant levels in the recent history is a red flag for potential long-term engine reliability issues. Before purchasing, you must prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension system, specifically checking all bushings and ball joints for play. You should also use an OBDII scanner to verify that all engine fault codes have been properly cleared and that the engine management system is fully functional.
