2010 JEEP PATRIOT SPORT PLUS2.4L Petrol

The 2026-06-06 MOT at 84,948 miles confirms the 2010 Jeep Patriot Sport Plus is presently roadworthy, yet the record reveals a maintenance pattern that oscillates between corrective action and persistent wear. After failures in 2024 and 2023, the recent pass shows that earlier defects were remedied, but recurring advisories on weak front washers, thin brake pads, edge‑worn tyres and extensive sub‑frame and suspension arm corrosion indicate ongoing concerns that have not been fully resolved. Over the sixteen‑year lifespan the vehicle has accumulated roughly 5,300 miles per year, a figure that is low for its age and suggests periods of limited use or extended standing. Mileage rose from 55,063 in 2020 to 59,534 in 2021 (4,471 miles), then to 63,712 in 2022 (4,178 miles), to 69,463 in 2023 (5,751 miles), to 75,095 in 2024 (5,632 miles), to 80,726 in 2025 (5,631 miles) and finally to 84,948 in 2026 (4,222 miles), showing a steady but modest increase without any abrupt spikes. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, inspecting the corroded sub‑frames, suspension arms and anti‑roll bar joints for rust and play, testing the wheel bearing for roughness, and measuring tyre tread depth and edge wear; the brake system must be examined for pad thickness, disc scoring and caliper binding; structural rust on the front and rear sub‑frames should be assessed for weakening, and the steering rack inner joint and track‑rod ends need checking for excessive movement.
