2020 Jeep Compass 1.4L Petrol · MX70 RXG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 44,242 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record indicates a recurring mechanical issue that requires consistent monitoring. While the 2024 test showed a completely clean sheet, the return of an oil leak in the 2025 test suggests a persistent but non-criticalating fault that has not yet reached the threshold of a mechanical failure. At 44,242 miles over six years, the Jeep has averaged approximately 7,374 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a family vehicle. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with 9,633 miles covered between October 2023 and November 2024, and another 6,906 miles in the year leading to the latest test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent seal degradation and brake fluid contamination. A buyer should specifically inspect the engine bay to identify the source of the oil leak flagged in both 2023 and 2025. While the tester noted the leak was not excessive, its persistence indicates a weeping gasket or seal that may eventually require replacement to prevent increased oil consumption. The 2025 advisory also highlighted front tyres worn close to the legal limit and showing wear on the edges. This suggests a potential wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that would warrant a physical check to avoid premature wear on new rubber.
