2003 Jeep Grand 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 58% pass first time (all 2003 cars: 57%) Stands out: suspension arm bushes and joints 2.1× 169 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 68% pass first time (all 2003 cars: 57%) Stands out: anti-roll bar link bushes 8.3×, track rod ends 2.6×, ball joint 2.4× 277 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

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