2010 Jeep Patriot Sport CRD 2.0L Diesel · EX10 AEV

The 2010 Jeep Patriot Sport CRD presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 29 August 2025 at 137,285 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 28 June 2024 at 128,392 miles and on 5 September 2023 at 125,179 miles. The only blemish in the sequence is a failure on 25 August 2023 at 125,163 miles, logged with no defects recorded, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The owner rectified the matter within eleven days and secured a pass. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,580 miles per year against the 137,285 miles recorded. The gap between the August 2023 failure and the September 2023 pass shows only 16 miles added, while the year to June 2024 saw 3,213 miles and the following fourteen months to August 2025 added 8,893 miles. No rapid accumulation or prolonged standing is evident from the data. The record is sparse but clean across all five entries, with no advisories logged on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the chassis and underbody for corrosion, given the vehicle's age and the absence of any advisory checks in the record. The clean MOT history offers no evidence of binding calipers, worn suspension components, or failing emissions, yet the 2023 failure with no defects recorded warrants verification that the DVSA entry reflects a genuine non-mechanical rejection rather than omitted fault data. Given the Patriot's age, examine the drivetrain for diesel particulate and turbo wear, and confirm tyre tread depth and wiper condition as consumable items the tests did not flag. The previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, though the lack of advisories across eleven years of recorded tests implies either meticulous upkeep or limited scrutiny at the testing bay.
