Grand Cherokee Crd Ltd A: a below-average pass rate worth digging into
Across 1,616 MOT tests, the Grand Cherokee Crd Ltd A returns 68.6% first-time pass — well below the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is a number-plate lamp out. The strength or continuity of the load bearing and a lamp out round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 122,991, 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.
