JEEP CHEROKEE Common
As of 2026 Q2, 16,987 JEEP CHEROKEEs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 29,029 in 2016 Q4 — only 59% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 12,042 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 1,238 a year (7.3% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2035 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 47% 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
