JEEP CHEROKEE Common

As of 2025 Q4, 19,848 JEEP CHEROKEEs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 32,954 in 2016 Q4 — only 60% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 13,106 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1,558 a year (7.9% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2033 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 44% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.

About the CHEROKEE

The Jeep Cherokee is a line of sport utility vehicles (SUV) manufactured and marketed by Jeep over six generations. Marketed initially as a variant of the Jeep Wagoneer (SJ), the Cherokee has evolved from a full-size station wagon (before the SUV description came into use) to one of the first compact SUVs and into its latest generation as a crossover SUV. Named after the Cherokee tribe of Native Americans in the United States, Jeep has used the nameplate in some capacity since late 1973 when American Motors Corporation (AMC) introduced the 1974 model year line.
