Buying Tips for 2014 Jeep Patriot
- On the diesel, feel for clutch slip by driving up a hill in a high gear during the test drive.
- Listen for a split turbo pipe causing lack of mid-range pull on the 2.0-litre CRD.
- Test the air conditioning and all electrical switches; failures are common.
- Inspect the alloy wheels for lacquer failure and corrosion; budget £250 for a refinish.
- Check the ball joints and suspension for clonks, and avoid the 2.4-litre CVT automatic.
