This 2007 Jeep Cherokee diesel struggles at MOT time, with a first-time pass rate of 74.1% sitting 5.9 percentage points below the UK average—a meaningful gap that suggests buyers should budget for repairs. The real concern here is that 46.3% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above what you'd typically see, making a thorough pre-purchase inspection non-negotiable.

At 68,000 miles median, these Cherokees have done reasonable mileage for their age, yet they're still accumulating 4.08 failures per test and 23.4 advisories, indicating persistent mechanical wear. Before buying, have a specialist inspect the brakes, suspension, and emissions system specifically, since those categories consistently show up as failure points on this model.

The 2007 Jeep Cherokee Limited Crd A has a decent first-time pass rate (75.2%), but a higher-than-average share of vehicles have had serious defects recorded — the individual vehicle's history matters a lot here.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

🔧 Average reliability. Passes at roughly the UK rate — not a standout, not a problem vehicle. Individual history makes all the difference.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 23.4 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 533 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
