2023 Jeep Compass Limited 4X2 1.3L Petrol · KX72 HMA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 18 March 2026 at 40,424 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach. The car failed inspection just six days prior on 12 March 2026 at 40,249 miles due to multiple tyre-related defects. While the subsequent pass indicates the repairs were made, the previous owner neglected basic safety equipment until forced by a failure. At 40,424 miles after three years, this Jeep Compass has averaged approximately 13,500 miles per year. This sits significantly above the national average for a passenger vehicle, suggesting consistent motorway or urban use which accelerates wear on consumable components such as suspension bushings and brake hardware. The short interval between the failure and the pass—only 175 miles—shows the owner addressed the immediate faults quickly, but the high mileage puts greater strain on the drivetrain and suspension-related wear items. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and alignment personally, as the March failure noted an offside front tyre worn on the edge tread, which often indicates incorrect camber geometry or worn ball arms and shock absorbers. The tyre pressure monitoring system also malfunctioned during the test, requiring verification that the sensors are now fully functional and not merely bypassed. Given the high mileage, check the condition of the brake discs for thinning and the state of the rubber seals to ensure the vehicle is not nearing a major mechanical service interval.
