What Chrysler-Jeep cars fail on

The items most often behind a first-test failure across Chrysler-Jeep model groups, as a share of Chrysler-Jeep tests. DVSA publishes each model group's six most common categories, so this ranks the biggest published causes rather than every possible one.

  • Brake Performance — 12.7% of Chrysler-Jeep tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
  • Suspension Arms — 8.7% of Chrysler-Jeep tests. Worn arms or bushes. A common age-related repair that affects handling and tyre wear.
  • Position Lamps — 5.9% of Chrysler-Jeep tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
  • Exhaust Emissions — 3.6% of Chrysler-Jeep tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
  • Steering Linkage Components — 3.5% of Chrysler-Jeep tests. Worn track rod ends or joints. Affects steering and tyre wear, and is a normal age-related repair.
  • ABS / EBS / ESC — 2.4% of Chrysler-Jeep tests. An anti-lock brake or stability control fault. Diagnosis first, then often a sensor.
  • Headlamp Aim — 2.1% of Chrysler-Jeep tests. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
  • Component Mounting Prescribed Areas — 1.3% of Chrysler-Jeep tests. Corrosion near a mounting point for a tested component. This is the kind of rust that gets expensive — inspect it.

Methodology and limitations

MOT outcomes describe testable items at the time of inspection. They are not a measure of overall mechanical reliability.

Scope: Class 4 normal initial MOT tests completed in 2024. Models require at least 1,000 qualifying tests. Duplicate source rows are removed using official DVSA test IDs.
