2001 Jeep Cherokee 60th Anniv. Td
CarHunch analysed 318 real MOT records for the 2001 Jeep Cherokee 60th Anniv. Td. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2001 Jeep Cherokee diesel is a clear step below the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of just 68.7% against the national 80%—a genuine reliability concern for a 23-year-old vehicle. More worrying, over a third of these cars (34.6%) have recorded dangerous defects during MOT testing, which suggests systematic issues buyers need to take seriously before purchase.
These Cherokees are running at around 96,500 miles on average, which is reasonable for their age, but they're racking up nearly 4 failures and over 21 advisories per test on average—pointing to widespread wear across multiple systems rather than one isolated problem. Get a pre-purchase inspection that specifically flags suspension, braking, and structural corrosion, as these older Jeeps tend to fail on exactly these fronts.
