1999 Jeep Cherokee: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 68% pass first time (all 1999 cars: 63%) Stands out: anti-roll bar link bushes 3.3× 410 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 70% pass first time (all 1999 cars: 63%) Stands out: engine oil leaks 1.9× 206 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
