2012 Jeep Compass Limited 4X2 2.0L Petrol · SH12 AAY

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile according to the most recent DVSA records. The December 2023 test at 92,189 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a brief period of instability in February 2022, where the vehicle failed an MOT at 74,769 miles before passing five days later. The absence of any recorded advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to meet minimum legal standards. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a 14-year-old vehicle. The data shows a steady progression from 74,769 miles in February 2022 to 92,189 miles by December 2023. This represents an average of approximately 8,800 miles per year during that specific interval, which aligns well with the overall lifetime average of 6,585 miles per year. The records indicate regular use rather than long periods of stationary storage. Since the MOT history is remarkably clean and lacks specific technical advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, there are no immediate red flags from the digital record. However, the failure in February 2022, even if resolved quickly, warrants a physical inspection of the components that typically cause such failures. A buyer should specifically examine the brake pads and discs for uneven wear and check the underside for signs of structural corrosion or leaking dampers. Given the vehicle has covered over 92,000 miles, the inspection should also focus on consumables that the MOT does not always scrutinise in detail. Check the condition of the tyre tread depth and the integrity of the wiper blades. While the electronic record suggests a well-kept vehicle, a physical assessment of the suspension bushings and steering linkages is recommended to ensure the driving dynamics remain tight and free from the play often found in higher-mileage SUVs.
