2022 Jeep Compass Trailhawk Phev Auto 1.3L Hybrid electric · WR22 PTY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on September 12, 2025, at 48,555 miles, but the maintenance trend indicates a period of reactive rather than proactive vehicle care. The car failed just four days prior at 48,049 miles due to multiple critical defects, including an electronic stability control fault and illegal tyres. While the recent pass shows the immediate failures were addressed, the presence of multiple suspension issues suggests the vehicle is reaching a stage of significant component wear. At 48,555 miles over four years, this Jeep has averaged approximately 12,140 miles per year, which sits significantly above the national average for a passenger vehicle. This high mileage accelerates the degradation of rubber-based components and consumable parts. The 506-mile gap between the failure and the subsequent pass shows the owner took quick action to rectify the faults, but the rapid accumulation of mileage means the vehicle has likely faced heavy usage stress on the drivetrain and suspension assemblies. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The MOT record specifically flagged both the nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes as worn, as well as front anti-roll bar linkages that were likely to detach. Even if these were replaced to pass the test, the buyer should check for play in the steering and knocking noises that indicate adjacent components are failing. The electronic stability control system must also be verified via a diagnostic tool to ensure the fault recorded in September was fully resolved and not merely an intermittent sensor issue that may return.
