2018 Jeep Compass 1.6L Diesel · EU68 HRK

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection in June 2026 at 46,852 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears improving, as the owner successfully addressed mechanical failures identified in the previous year. While the 2025 test revealed specific component issues, the subsequent pass indicates that the necessary repairs were completed to bring the vehicle back to legal standards. The mileage profile is low for an eight-year-old Jeep, averaging approximately 5,856 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,400 miles driven between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 7,800 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This low annual mileage suggests less-related wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The failure in July 2025 highlights a specific weakness in the front suspension, where the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints on both the nearside and offside were found excessively worn. This, combined with the failure for front tyre tread depth below the legal limit, suggests a period where basic preventative maintenance was neglected until the test. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension for any remaining play in the joints and ensure the replacement work was thorough. Given the age relative to the mileage, checking for sidewall cracking on tyres and corrosion on brake discs is advisable, as these components often age through time rather than through distance.
