JEEP WRANGLER (1996-07) 2DR SOFT TOP 4WD 4.0 174 EXTREME SPORT

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The JEEP WRANGLER (1996-07) 2DR SOFT TOP 4WD 4.0 174 EXTREME SPORT is a compact, two-door four-wheel-drive SUV, built for open-air adventures rather than ordinary family motoring. Its removable soft top and rugged, upright styling make it instantly recognisable in the UK market, where it is a more specialist choice than mainstream SUVs.
Mycarcheck.com records are based on 19 look-ups covering nine different VINs, so they offer a useful snapshot rather than a large survey. These checks show an average private-sale valuation of £9,100 and average recorded mileage of 55,000 miles; annual mileage averages just 1,000 miles. The typical recorded keeper count is around four, suggesting many examples have changed hands several times.
The Wrangler suits enthusiasts seeking ability, open-air driving and character, not commuters prioritising comfort or fuel savings. Compared with road-focused SUVs, its go-anywhere image and open-top appeal stand out, but ride feels purposeful rather than refined.
