Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Jeep Cherokee Orvis Td Owners

These checks follow this Jeep Cherokee Orvis Td's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Jeep Cherokee Orvis Td.

• the lights — “registration plate lamp(s) inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources”

  Switch everything on and walk round the car: both headlamps on dip and main, every indicator, both brake lights, reverse, fog and the two number-plate lamps. A bulb is a few pounds and a five-minute job.

• the battery — “battery(ies) insecure”

  Check the battery is secure and its terminals are clean and tight — a loose battery is a fail on its own, and a weak one shows up as slow cranking on a cold morning.

• the horn — “horn not working”

  Press it. That is the whole check, and a surprising number of cars fail on it.
