CarHunch analysed 168 real MOT records for the 2010 Jeep G Cherokee S Ltd Crd A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee is slightly more troublesome than average, with a first-time pass rate of 78.5% against the UK average of 80%, and a concerning 31.6% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point. The diesel engine (which accounts for virtually all examples) shows no particular weakness versus petrol alternatives, since petrol variants are essentially absent from the market.

At 78,794 miles median, these Jeeps are running pretty hard for their age, yet they're averaging 3.19 failures per test and 17.9 advisories—a sign of widespread wear rather than catastrophic problems. If you're considering one, budget for immediate attention to suspension and braking components, and have a pre-purchase inspection specifically focus on the engine bay for fluid leaks and seal degradation typical of high-mileage diesel units.

What to check before buying a 2010 Jeep G Cherokee S Ltd Crd A

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
