Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this Bronze Jeep Compass, you should prioritise a thorough inspection of the undercarriage. The most recent MOT in April 2026 noted light oil misting on both front and rear shock absorbers, as well as an oil leak that was described as 'not excessive'. You should ask the seller for evidence of any recent repairs to address these leaks or the shock absorbers themselves.
Negotiate based on the documented deterioration of the CV boots and suspension components. The 2026 record specifically mentions severely deteriorated outer drive shaft constant velocity boots on both sides and worn suspension arm pins/bushes. These are items that will likely require replacement in the near future to maintain roadworthiness. Additionally, check the coolant and oil levels personally, as 'low' levels were flagged in both 2024 and 2026.
With a 1368cc petrol engine, this Compass is likely to sit in a moderate insurance group and tax band suitable for a small-to-midsize SUV. Fuel economy for this engine size is generally acceptable for mixed driving, though heavy SUV styling can impact efficiency.
Maintenance costs should be factored in higher than average for the immediate term due to the documented suspension and seal issues. Expect typical servicing costs for a petrol Jeep, but keep a contingency fund for the replacement of shock absorbers, CV boots, and suspension bushings as suggested by the MOT history.
Focus heavily on the suspension and drivetrain. The MOT history for this specific vehicle shows a progression of wear, including trailing arm pins/bushes in 2025 and 2026, and front suspension arm bushes in 2026. Inspect the CV boots closely; the 2026 test noted they were 'severely deteriorated' on both sides, which can lead to expensive joint failures if not addressed.
Check for signs of fluid leaks under the engine bay and around the dampers. The vehicle has a history of 'low coolant' and 'low oil' advisories, alongside 'light misting' of oil on the shock absorbers. Finally, ensure the TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) is functioning correctly, as this was flagged as a fault in the 2024 failure record.
This 2018 Jeep Compass (SF68TZP) has covered 67,553 miles in approximately eight years, which is slightly above the model average of 8,034 miles per year. The MOT history shows a transition from a clean record in 2023 to increasing numbers of advisories in 2025 and 2026. Recent tests highlight multiple concerns regarding shock absorbers, suspension bushings, and CV boots.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 85% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.
