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
