The valve on our 2005 Jeep was about £90 in 2015 including fitting and balancing. Not sure of the cost on the 2012 Jeep and too scared to ask!![]()
Depends on when the vehicle was made in relation to when it became legal to have them installed. A previous neighbour of mine had a problem with TPMS in his 54 ref Peugeot 504. He had the system changed such that no alarm came on. Also on start up no dashboard check showed the TPMS icon lit. When it came around to tyre change he had the sensors all removed. When I questioned him re MOT he told me his car was well in advance of the legal fitting dateTry some specialist suppliers like TMPS Warehouse
As an example, they retail ours at about half what Land Rover list them at, but you still have the fitting cost if not in sync with other tyre work on the wheel.
The 2012 model looks about half as costly from them as your earlier one, anyway.
It also might be prudent to search E-B the auction site, particularly for a vehicle of that age, you might find a dealer worried about holding onto stock as vehicle models age.
Is one dicky TPMS sensor an MOT failure? I suppose "no warnings on dash" rule, makes it so.

The sensor I had fitted was done by ETB in Worcester. After shopping around they were the cheapest.Try some specialist suppliers like TMPS Warehouse

My Citroen BX was stable on three wheels with its hydro pneumatic suspension. It had a full size spare but in the event of pure bad luck of getting two punctures in a day you could carry on driving, albeit modestly. The only inconvenience being to ensure the second flat tyre went on the rear otherwise all you got woukd be lots of revs and no forward progress. Remember ad with the adverts with the BX between to HGVs and the tyre blew. Great car and as the ad said “ doesn’t like garages’.Something to be said for the "indirect" system that pulls any persistent rouge speed of a particular wheel off the ABS and dynamic stability system, even though not as responsive or as informative.
Still probably faster than me "sensing" something is not right, that we used in our case for 56 years.
It has worked well twice on my wife's Golf, once when we gave a lift to two friends without a moments thought the car's pressures were set for driver and passenger, the other time the dozzy tyre fitter put the wrong pressure in the new set of boots. The latter case, I knew before it went off, these "new" tyres were real funny.
