2016 Jeep Wrangler: 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
77% pass first time (all 2016 cars: 77%)
Nothing stands out above the usual rate
373 MOTsSee the petrol guide ›
Diesel
71% pass first time (all 2016 cars: 77%)
Stands out: headlight aim 3×, ball joint 2.8×
528 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›
Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
