How long do jeep Cherokee last?

Answer 1

That's a tough question to answer definitively, but my 93 Jeep Cherokee Sport has 252,000+ miles on it and it's still running reasonably well now in 2009. I bought it new in '93 and simply gave it regular service checks. The biggest issue I have had with it is overheating. I hear that's a common problem with earlier model Cherokees. Just look at the paint on the hood of almost every Cherokee over 5 or 6 years old. I recently took it in for servicing because it was leaking oil from just about everywhere except the filter. All the seals and gaskets seemed to wear out at the same time, so I had them all replaced. It was rather an expensive proposition, but considering it's 16 years old with over 250K miles on it, that's not too bad. I intend to keep my Cherokee until the motor falls off and then I'll have it restored and keep on driving it. My daughter's '88 Cherokee Laredo had 270,000 miles on it and was running OK right up until it was stolen late in 2008.

Answer 2

Should last over 200,000 miles with normal maintenance.
