2018 Jeep Compass 1.4L Petrol · MD18 UAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a fluctuating trend regarding electronic sensor faults. The most recent test in April 2026 at 17,198 miles secured a pass with only a minor advisory on the offside front tyre. This follows a significant failure in April 2025 where the vehicle was rejected due to simultaneous ABS and supplementary restraint system warning lamps. While these electronic faults were rectified before the retest, their presence suggests intermittent electrical or sensor-related issues. The usage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,150 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-interval mileage, with 1,676 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 1,654 miles recorded since the last inspection. This low mileage typically preserves mechanical wear on drivetrain and suspension components, but long periods of standing increase the risk of rubber-based components degrading and seals drying out or becoming brittle over time regardless of distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the ABS module and SRS system to ensure the faults flagged in 2025 are fully resolved and not recurring. The 2023 advisory regarding a coolant leak from the header tank warrants a close check of the cooling system for signs of residual corrosion or perished hoses. Given the recurring damage noted on the offside front tyre across 2025 and 2026, the physical condition of the remaining tyres should be scrutinized for impact damage or uneven wear that might indicate alignment issues.
