Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Jeep Wrangler Spt Un-Ltd Owners

These checks follow this Jeep Wrangler Spt Un-Ltd's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Jeep Wrangler Spt Un-Ltd.

• the suspension joints — “ball joint dust cover damaged or deteriorated,”

  With the car parked on level ground, rock the top of each front wheel in and out while someone watches the suspension arm. Clunks, or rubber boots split and greasy, are what testers record here.

• the lights — “rear fog lamp not working”

  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 brakes — “brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick”

  Look through the spokes of each wheel at the pad — less than 3mm of friction material, or a lip on the disc edge, is the usual failure. Check the handbrake holds on a slope with a few clicks, not at the top of its travel.
