2013 Jeep Compass Limited CRD 2.1L Diesel · GY13 AAV

This vehicle has a current MOT, but the most recent inspection from October 2025 reveals a worsening trend in its mechanical condition. While it passed, the report highlights several emerging issues that suggest the car is beginning to suffer from age-related deterioration. The primary risk pattern is centered on the suspension and chassis. There are recurring advisories for worn rear upper suspension arm bushes and a now severely deteriorated front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover. Combined with reports of general corrosion under the vehicle and around the rear sub-frame, this indicates a trend of declining structural and suspension integrity. At roughly 7,300 miles per year, the mileage is typical for a 13-year-old car. This suggests consistent use rather than extreme wear or long periods of standing, but it means consumables and rubber components are reaching the end of their natural lifespan. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the underside for the extent of the corrosion, particularly around the sub-frame. You should also check for any knocking or play in the suspension and verify if the worn bushes and split dust covers have been replaced since the last MOT.
