The 2000 Jeep Cherokee Orvis Auto passes its MOT first time in just 70.9% of cases, nearly 10 percentage points below the UK average of 80%, and a concerning 22.1% of these vehicles have recorded dangerous defects during testing—well above acceptable thresholds for a buyer. This is a noticeably unreliable proposition compared to peers of the same age.

With a median mileage of 89,000 miles for a 24-year-old vehicle, these Cherokees are running relatively low, yet they're still averaging 3.62 failures and 21.7 advisories per test, pointing to systemic wear issues rather than just high-mileage deterioration. If you're considering one, budget for serious pre-purchase inspection and expect regular repair costs; the dangerously high defect rate means checking brakes, suspension, and steering components is non-negotiable.
