2011 Jeep Patriot Sport+ CRD 2.0L Diesel · RE60 VOK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2022-08-10 at 109,408 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this followed a failure on 2022-07-15 at 109,399 miles, also with no recorded defects. This abrupt shift between pass and fail without specific issues noted suggests potential administrative error or a minor technicality unresolved between tests. Subsequent MOTs from 2018 to 2021 show consistent passes with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record prior to 2022. The lack of structural or mechanical advisories in earlier tests implies no significant underlying issues, though the 2022 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm compliance with roadworthiness standards. The vehicle’s mileage of 109,408 miles at 15 years old aligns with an average annual usage of 7,294 miles, reflecting typical wear for its age. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident between tests, with consistent intervals of 12–18 months. The 2018-08-15 test at 96,001 miles to the 2022-08-10 test at 109,408 miles shows a steady increase of 13,407 miles over four years, consistent with normal usage. The sparse defect history, aside from the 2022 failure, suggests minimal mechanical degradation, though the absence of detailed fault reports limits deeper analysis of component health. A prospective buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system, suspension components, and exhaust for signs of wear, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age. The 2022 failure, though unexplained, may indicate transient issues requiring verification. Structural corrosion or body panel integrity should also be assessed, given the vehicle’s exposure to UK road conditions. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the recent inconsistency in test outcomes necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm continued compliance and identify any latent mechanical concerns.
