Buying Tips for the Jeep Compass (MP)

  • Check the alignment of the exterior body panels; build quality can be inconsistent.
  • Test the heated seats and steering wheel, as the heating elements are known to fail.
  • On 4xe (PHEV) models, check the hybrid system charging and ensure it transitions smoothly between EV and Hybrid modes.
  • Check for a "Service 4WD" light on 4xe models, which can indicate a fault with the rear electric motor.
