2014 Jeep Cherokee MOT pass rate: 74.1% (3,516 tests)
Is the 2014 Cherokee getting worse?
Pass rate of 2014-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 75.2% -2.2 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 74.7% -1.0 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 72.5% -1.9 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

What mileage is too high for a 2014 Cherokee?
