2021 Jeep Compass 2.4L Petrol · AE70 CWR

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently questionable due to a lack of recent certification following a significant mechanical failure. While the car passed its initial test in 2021 with no defects, the subsequent test in May 2022 resulted in multiple failures across critical safety categories. The maintenance trend appears unstable because the vehicle has not undergone a recorded MOT in over four years, leaving the current state of the braking, lighting, and tyre integrity unverified. The mileage profile indicates a low-useage pattern, covering only 22,184 miles over five years. This averages to approximately 4,400 miles per annum, yet the significant gap between the January 2021 test at 9 miles and the May 2022 test suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. Low mileage on older-age vehicles often leads to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre seals, and correlates with the 2022 failure regarding a fitted child seat preventing a full belt inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres and wheels, as the 2022 record flagged a nearside front tyre cut reaching the cords and an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit. The reported TPMS light and the failed offside rear fog lamp also require immediate attention to ensure electrical faults or sensor issues were properly rectified. Given the time elapsed since the May 2022 failure, the brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or seizing, which are common in low-mileage vehicles that are infrequently driven.
