2020 Jeep Compass 1.4L Petrol · NC08 FFC

This Jeep Compass passed its most recent MOT just two weeks ago, but the advisory list shows two developing issues that need attention. The nearside rear tyre is worn close to the legal limit, and both rear lower suspension arm bushes are showing wear. These are not failures yet, but they indicate the car is entering a phase where routine maintenance costs will start to appear. The pattern across the last three MOTs shows a vehicle that was completely clean in 2023, then began showing rear brake disc wear and tyre perishing in 2025, and now has added suspension bush wear in 2026. This is a worsening trend, though still at an early stage. The rear brake discs and tyres were noted as worn or perishing last year, and the suspension bushes have now joined the list. This suggests the car may have been used on shorter journeys or left standing for periods, which can accelerate tyre perishing and brake disc pitting. The mileage is low for a six-year-old vehicle at roughly 5,960 miles per year. This is consistent with light use, but the tyre perishing and brake disc pitting noted in 2025 could point to periods of inactivity rather than hard driving. The suspension bush wear is more typical of normal age-related degradation rather than abuse.
