2015 Jeep Cherokee MOT pass rate: 77.6% (5,972 tests)
Is the 2015 Cherokee getting worse?
Pass rate of 2015-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 79.3% -1.2 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 76.2% -2.3 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 77.3% +0.2 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.
