AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Jeep has 22 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 26,136 miles. The recurring brake advisories and a long history of owner-reported engine issues also warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage of 178 miles/year before Aug 2025, despite a normal annual usage of 7,050 miles/yr from 2018 onwards.

Things to check

  • Mileage anomaly: 178 miles/year recorded before Aug 2025, despite normal usage from 2018.
  • Major failure: Offside Front Track rod end ball joint excessive play caused test failure on 2025-06-25.
  • Recurring advisories: Brake system advisories noted in 2010, 2019, and 2025.
  • Long history of owner-reported engine issues: Head gasket, timing chain, and fuel pump O-ring leaks.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 4-star safety rating.
  • Valid MOT until 2026-07-31, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • Normal annual mileage of 7,050 miles/yr from 2018 onwards.
  • No recent major failures or advisories on critical safety systems like brakes or suspension.
