2017 Jeep Compass 2.4L Petrol · AY66 EGV

The vehicle's recorded MOT history is clean, with no defects reported during the 2020 and 2021 inspections. However, the most recent test was completed in August 2021, which means the vehicle is currently significantly overdue for an MOT. This lack of recent testing is the primary concern, as the previous passing results do not reflect the car's current roadworthiness or safety. The mechanical trend appears stable based on the limited data provided, but the age of the records makes this assessment unreliable. Because the last recorded mileage was in 2021, there is no way to know how much the vehicle has been driven or how it has been maintained in the intervening years. At roughly 3,214 miles per year, the mileage is very low for a nine-year-old vehicle. While this suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, it also introduces the risk of issues related to under-use. Vehicles that sit stationary for long periods can suffer from seized brakes, perished rubber components, and battery degradation. Before proceeding, you must ensure the vehicle has a valid, up-to-date MOT. You should also inspect the tyres and all rubber seals and hoses for signs of cracking or perishing, and check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion that may indicate long periods of inactivity.
