The most common problems on the Jeep Grand Cherokee Crd Ltd A are registration plate lamp not working (954 recorded failures), position lamp(s) not working (903), and shock absorber has a serious fluid leak (753). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection.

A typical Jeep Grand Cherokee Crd Ltd A owner drives around 6,817 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.
