2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0L Diesel · YP18 LDN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of deferred brake component replacement. The most recent test in July 2025 at 73,625 miles flagged thin pads on both axles and pitted or scored discs across all four wheels. This reflects a long-term trend dating back to 2022, indicating that the previous owner consistently waited for components to reach the point of failure or significant advisory status rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. The record shows steady usage between tests, moving from 38,038 miles in September 2021 to 73,625 miles in July 2025. This regular use suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often explains the corrosion seen on the brake surfaces. However, the accumulation of over 35,000 miles over the last four years explains the accelerated wear and tear noted in the braking history. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the recurring reports of pitting and scoring on all discs suggest either low-quality replacement parts or prolonged exposure to moisture without adequate cleaning. The 2024 advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn unevenly on the inner and outer edges points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that need to be verified. You should also check the structural integrity of the chassis for rust, as the record focuses heavily on consumable items rather than underbody condition.
