Grand Cherokee Crd Ltd Auto: a below-average pass rate worth digging into
Across 621 MOT tests, the Grand Cherokee Crd Ltd Auto returns 65.9% first-time pass — well below the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is a number-plate lamp out. A corroded brake pipe and worn suspension bushes round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 127,507, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.
