2019 Jeep Compass 1.6L Diesel · UK54 AMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent inspection on 8 June 2026 at 47,717 miles. While the car passed, the tester identified a defect regarding slight play in the offside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. This indicates the onset of suspension component wear that was not present in the previous year's test. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable but shows a shift from consumable-related issues to mechanical linkage fatigue as the vehicle ages. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. There is a clear progression of roughly 9,000 miles between the June 2024 test at 25,676 miles and the June 2025 test at 37,239 miles, followed by another 10,478 miles leading to the current June 2026 record. This regular usage suggests the vehicle is driven frequently rather than left for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber seals and brake system components. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension assembly, as the history shows a recurring lack of tyre management. Between 2022 and 2025, the vehicle was repeatedly flagged for uneven wear, perishing, and physical damage to the tyres. This suggests a history of neglecting basic tyre maintenance or alignment checks. The recent advisory on the anti-roll bar ball joint necessitates a physical inspection of all suspension bushings to prevent future failure or knocking noises, as these components are now reaching the end of their optimal service life.
