2019 Jeep Compass 1.4L Petrol · GD19 HCH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding mechanical seals and suspension. While it passed its latest test on 7 May 2026 at 58,915 miles, it had failed just one mile prior due to minor electrical and fluid-related issues. The most significant concern is the persistent presence of oil oil and coolant leaks which have appeared in every test since April 2024, indicating a long-term sealing issue that is being monitored rather than fully rectified. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. The car progressed from 45,241 miles in May 2023 to 58,915 miles in May 2026, representing steady usage intervals. However, the 2025 test at 54,943 miles highlighted multiple tyres with perishing and cracking, which suggests that despite the low mileage, the vehicle may sit for extended periods, allowing rubber components to degrade from age and oxidation. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the rear suspension. Both the nearside and offside rear suspension arm pins and bushes have been flagged as worn since 2025, progressing to an advisory status in the 2026 test. This wear suggests the bushings are nearing failure and will require replacement to maintain handling stability. Additionally, the recurring oil and coolant leaks require a professional diagnosis to determine if they are simple weeping gaskets or more significant failures of the engine seals or water pump.
