2008 Jeep Patriot Sport CRD 2.0L Diesel · AM08 KCN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test in May 2024 at 109,535 miles passed with only a minor defect regarding a defective rear windscreen wiper blade. This follows a clean record in 2023 and 2020, indicating that the primary mechanical and safety components have remained within tolerance levels without significant failures during recent inspection cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a notable three-year gap between the October 2019 test at 94,991 miles and the September 2020 test at 105,382 miles, during which the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles. Since then, the accumulation has slowed, with only 4,153 miles recorded over the last four years. This low annual usage suggests less wear on the drivetrain components, clutch, and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage counterparts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and lower suspension components, as the MOT record does not detail surface rust or bushing play. While the vehicle has passed without major failures, the age of the Jeep necessitates a close look for corrosion on the chassis rails, exhaust system, and brake lines. The single failure in 2020 for an offside headlamp was a minor electrical oversight, but checking the overall lighting and wiring system remains advisable to ensure no other intermittent faults have developed.
