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 25 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 46,899 miles. This critical issue, combined with numerous recurring mechanical faults and a 21-year-old vehicle, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.

The mileage decreased from 46,934 miles on 2008-11-01 to 44,137 miles on 2009-11-19, a clear indication of possible odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Nov 2008 (46,934 mi) and Nov 2009 (44,137 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
  • Mileage decreased 2,797 miles between 2008-11-01 (46,934 mi) and 2009-11-19 (44,137 mi).
  • Recurring major failures in lights (4 times), brakes (2 times), and suspension (1 time).
  • Recurring advisories for tyres (8 times) and engine oil (4 times) across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-08-21, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting current maintenance.
  • Consistent annual mileage increases since 2009, despite initial anomaly.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
