2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee

CarHunch analysed 282 real MOT records for the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee passes its MOT first time in 91.7% of cases, well above the UK average of 80%, suggesting these are generally well-maintained vehicles. Only 12.1% have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is a reassuring figure for a buyer concerned about safety-critical failures.

At just over 33,000 miles on the clock, these Grand Cherokees are running light for their age, and they average fewer than half a failure per test, indicating robust mechanicals. The average of 2.5 advisories per vehicle is moderate, so budget for routine wear items like brakes and suspension, but this isn't a model plagued by systemic problems—have a pre-purchase inspection focus on fluid leaks and exhaust condition, which tend to be the weak points in American SUVs of this era.

What to check before buying a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee

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.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
