Moderate sample. 442 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.
The 2014 Jeep Wrangler passes its MOT at 80.7%, which is fractionally above the UK average of 80%, but the real concern is that 23.1% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—well above acceptable. Petrol variants do slightly better at 82.3% pass rate compared to diesels at 80.2%, though the difference is marginal.
At 46,382 miles median, these Wranglers are running lower than you'd expect for a ten-year-old vehicle, which usually suggests lighter use or careful ownership. The real weak spot is advisories: 8.5 per vehicle is substantial and points to widespread wear in suspension, seals, and weatherproofing—typical for a vehicle designed for rough terrain. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection that specifically checks the undercarriage, suspension components, and any previous damage history, as the high dangerous-defect rate suggests these are vehicles that get worked harder than average.
The 2014 Jeep Wrangler passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (80.7%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
These stats describe 442 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.

Brake pipes, sills and subframes are the key areas on a vehicle this age — structural rust is hard to spot without getting underneath. A mechanic will check all of this before you commit, and give you a concrete basis to negotiate on price.
