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

This 2005 Jeep has 15 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 54,474 miles. The vehicle's 21-year age, combined with severe recurring brake and suspension failures, presents significant and immediate safety risks.

The vehicle shows normal usage with 139,351 miles by Sep 2018, averaging 10,134 miles per year, which is consistent with UK driving.

Things to check

  • No valid MOT since 2019-09-30, rendering the vehicle unroadworthy and illegal to drive.
  • Major brake failure in Sep 2018, with 6 related advisories, indicates a chronic and unresolved safety issue.
  • Major suspension failure in Sep 2018, with 6 related advisories, points to a long-standing and unresolved structural weakness.
  • The 2019-09-30 MOT expiry date is a major red flag, as the vehicle has not been retested or renewed since then.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 4-star safety rating.
  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no anomalies or suspicious drops, indicating genuine usage.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
