Jeep Grand Cherokee Crd Ltd A: MOT pass rate and reliability data

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Crd Ltd A fails its first MOT more often than the average UK car, by 7.1 percentage points. These figures come from the DVSA's full year of anonymised MOT results, covering 1,086 individual Jeep Grand Cherokee Crd Ltd A tests. Nothing here is an estimate or a survey.

The numbers

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. The average Jeep Grand Cherokee Crd Ltd A tested had covered 121,665 miles and was built around 2006.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Jeep Grand Cherokee Crd Ltd A sits 7.1 points below the national average, ranked 1,773 of 2,005 models. On one bought as repairable salvage, assume the mechanical side needs more than the visible accident damage, and pad your repair estimate accordingly.

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.
