Buying Tips for the 2020 Jeep Compass (MP)

  • On 4xe models, verify that the 12V auxiliary battery is healthy; parasitic drain on weak 12V units can trigger immobiliser lockouts
  • Check both Type 2 public charging cable and standard domestic plug cable, ensuring the charging port lock mechanism latches and releases reliably
  • Confirm smooth handover between petrol and electric powertrains during brisk acceleration; shuddering points to outdated hybrid control module software
  • Inspect condition of high-voltage orange wiring harnesses underneath the vehicle for any signs of chafing or impact damage
