What this means if you are buying one

A 69.6% first-time pass rate means roughly 30 in every 100 Jeep Grand Cherokee Crd Ltd 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.

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.
