If it has had good maintenance and you continue with good maintenance, it should easily go another 100,000 miles.

Hello, As a jeep owner I can honestly tell you it is very reliable and a tough vehicle to kill. As long as you keep up on the maintenance and oil changes the motor should last well over 200,000 miles. I have a friend who owns a 94 Grand Cherokee and she has over 180,000 miles and still running strong. The only major component she replaced was the Timing Belt and of course Water Pump and that was around 120,000. GOOD LUCK ! Anthony
