Any year that lived in the South or Southwest. I don't think any particular year was significantly better or worse.
You should be able to tell quite a bit just from rapping on the floorpans from underneath. Can't always tell by looking because undercoating hides a lot, but tapping with a screwdriver works. If all you have is a bit of surface rust under the carpets, that's easy to take care of.

 

All years are vulnerable to rusty floors. Checking underneath is a great way. It's generally the first thing I look for when checking a XJ or MJ. If the carpet is falling through, it needs major fixing. The screwdriver trick is great for the interior put not perfect either. I did it on my MJ without pulling up the carpet. Bad idea. One previous owner threw down some crappy sheet metal to cover the hole. I pulled the carpet to find it rusted from inside out, after I bought it. Years of spilt drinks from 6 previous owners.

Safest bet is a Jeep from a southern state it's entire life with no road salt or beach use.

Here's a pic of how bad it was in my MJ.

Funny how this is the third or fourth floor rust thread in as many days. The Great CF Cycle prevails!

None

 

It's a nice change of pace from won't start/overheating/what's that knocking noise, lol.

 

The Great CF Cycle is quite the phenomenon. On a given day you'll see a certain topic trending, most of the threads answer each others' questions. A day or two ago I thought I saw 5 threads on fuel pressure.

Don't worry though Radi... between my two XJs I'm pretty sure I have all three of those.

 

I tried to be different and posted about battery/distributor problem(well could be considered no start but I knew why), but nobody could answer it
