Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When inspecting this specific Jeep, pay close attention to the suspension system. The MOT history shows a failure in March 2025 for a fractured rear coil spring and a missing ball joint dust cover, following a previous failure in 2024 for a worn anti-roll bar linkage. You should verify that these specific components have been replaced with high-quality parts and that the suspension geometry has been correctly aligned.
Additionally, check the condition of all four tyres. The most recent MOT in May 2026 flagged both front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges, suggesting potential alignment issues. Ask the seller for evidence of a recent wheel alignment and ensure the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which failed in 2024, is fully operational.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Compass is likely to offer decent fuel economy for motorway cruising, though real-world figures will depend on driving style. The Euro 6 status means it is compliant with most current UK Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ).
Insurance groups for this model vary, but you should obtain specific quotes based on the PC53AJS registration. Maintenance costs may be slightly higher than average due to the recent history of suspension component replacements. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are approximately £1,400-£1,700.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and tyres. Given the 2025 failure regarding a fractured nearside rear coil spring and a missing ball joint dust cover, check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of weeping dampers or loose components. Ensure the anti-roll bar linkages are secure, as these were a previous cause of failure.
Inspect the tyres thoroughly; the 2025 and 2026 MOT records highlight issues with cracking, perishing, and uneven edge wear. This combination of issues often points to either age-related rubber degradation or incorrect wheel alignment. Finally, confirm that the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System is functioning correctly to avoid a repeat of the 2024 failure.
This 2019 grey Jeep Compass 1.6L diesel has covered 35,056 miles as of its most recent MOT, which is notably lower than the model average of 8,034 miles per year. However, the vehicle has experienced multiple MOT failures involving suspension parts and tyre wear. The recent history shows a pattern of maintenance being required for consumable items and suspension geometry.
Aggregate data from 9,422 vehicles shows an 85% MOT pass rate, with suspension arms and tyres being common failure points for this model.
