2001 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 64% pass first time (all 2001 cars: 60%) Nothing stands out above the usual rate 337 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 60% pass first time (all 2001 cars: 60%) Stands out: engine oil leaks 2.2× 252 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

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