2008 Jeep Compass 2.0L Diesel · GF08 FVN

The most recent MOT on record is from May 2023, meaning this Jeep Compass currently has no valid MOT as of June 2026. That is your most immediate risk; driving it or buying it without a fresh test is a gamble, especially on an older SUV. The MOT history itself is surprisingly clean, with no recorded defects across the 2019, 2020, and 2023 passes. However, there is an oddity in February 2021: the car failed and then passed on the same day at virtually identical mileage. While the failure record lists no specific defects, this suggests a minor issue was spotted and quickly rectified for the retest. The condition trend appears stable based on the paperwork, but the missing years since 2023 make it hard to call it improving. The real worry is what has happened in those unrecorded three years. With roughly 5,880 miles per year on average, the mileage is low for an 18-year-old vehicle. More importantly, the car covered only about 700 miles between February 2021 and May 2023. This strongly indicates long periods of standing or very light use.
