2020 Jeep Compass 1.4L Petrol · OU70 JGO

This 2020 Jeep Compass is currently roadworthy, with its most recent MOT test on 16 January 2026 at 36,397 miles resulting in a clean pass with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend has been stable and consistently improving since a single isolated failure in December 2023, with three consecutive clean passes following that incident and no recurring mechanical, structural, or safety-related issues flagged across the last three test cycles. The vehicle’s annual mileage of roughly 6,066 miles aligns exactly with average usage for a six-year-old passenger car, with no evidence of excessive wear from high mileage or damage from long periods of inactivity. Mileage accumulation between tests is consistent and unremarkable: 214 miles were added between the December 2023 failed test and the January 2024 retest, 7,714 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and 6,686 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests, all matching typical regular use patterns. There are no unexplained gaps in the MOT record, with tests spaced roughly 12 months apart as required, and no sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest unlogged long-distance use or potential odometer discrepancy. The December 2023 test flagged a non-functioning offside front position lamp and inner tread wear on both front tyres as the cause of the only recorded failure across the full MOT history. The lamp fault was rectified before the January 2024 retest, but the inner tyre wear indicates a prior issue with front wheel alignment or front suspension components such as track rod ends or suspension bushes that may not have been fully addressed. A buyer should inspect the current front tyres for even wear patterns, confirm the front alignment is within specification, and check for free play in the front suspension joints to rule out ongoing wear that could lead to uneven tyre degradation or handling issues. Even with no structural corrosion, brake defects, or other mechanical faults recorded across the three most recent clean tests, a hands-on check of brake disc thickness, pad wear, and underbody corrosion around wheel arches and suspension mounting points is recommended, as minor wear in these areas often does not trigger an MOT failure until it reaches a more advanced, costly stage.
