2018 Jeep Compass 1.4L Petrol · EU68 HRE

The vehicle presents as currently roadworthy following a clean pass in the June 2026 test at 78,845 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent improvement, moving from a series of consumable-related failures and advisories to a defect-free result. While the vehicle experienced issues with tyre wear and brake pad thickness in late 2025, the most recent inspection suggests these components have since been addressed or replaced. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,856 miles per year. The records show steady progression, with a notable 9,000-mile increase between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests, followed by roughly 3,600 miles in the eight months leading to the June 2026 inspection. This pattern indicates regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished rubber seals. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front axle assembly and suspension geometry. The October 2024 failure for exposed tyre cords and the October 2025 advisory for inner tyre edge wear suggest potential issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. These recurring tyre wear patterns often stem from incorrect camber or toe settings. The October 2025 advisory regarding thin front brake pads indicates that while the brakes passed the most recent test, the service interval for consumables is approaching. I recommend verifying that the front brake discs show no significant scoring and that the pads have sufficient remaining friction material. Checking the condition of the steering components and shock absorbers would also be prudent to ensure the tyre wear issues have been fully resolved.
