The numbers

What this means if you are buying one

A 70.9% first-time pass rate means roughly 29 in every 100 Jeep G-Cherokee Overland Crd As presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is worse than average, so budget for remedial work and treat a fresh 12-month MOT as a genuine selling point rather than a given. The average Jeep G-Cherokee Overland Crd A tested had covered 123,825 miles and was built around 2008.

What this means at salvage auction

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.
