This 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee 60th Anniversary passes its first MOT only 69.2% of the time, well below the UK average of 80%, and nearly 29% of examples have recorded dangerous defects at some point—a serious concern for a buyer. The petrol variants fare slightly worse at 68.2%, suggesting mechanical gremlins rather than fuel-type quirks.

These vehicles are typically sitting around 85,000–89,000 miles for their age, which is reasonable, but they're arriving at test with an average of 4.4 failures and nearly 27 advisories each, indicating aging components and gradual decay rather than catastrophic problems. Before committing to one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the braking system and suspension—two areas where dangerous defects cluster on this generation—and factor in remedial work into your budget.
