2011 Jeep Compass Limited CVT 2.4L Petrol · WV61 UGL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on 30 January 2026 at 158,418 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive rather than proactive. The car failed just one day prior to its most recent test due to illegal tyre tread depths on the nearside front and uneven wear on the offside front. While these issues were rectified immediately, the failure suggests the previous owner only addressed faults necessary to pass the test rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. Between January 2025 and January 2026, the vehicle covered 4,226 miles, showing a steady increase of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles annually recently. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals in the CVT transmission and drivetrain components despite the high total mileage on the odometer. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear braking system and suspension components based on historical advisories. The 2025 test flagged pitted and scored rear brake discs, and the 2023 test noted oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber. You must verify if the shock absorber has progressed to a significant leak and if the rear discs have been replaced since. Furthermore, the uneven tyre wear noted in the January 2026 failure warrants a check of the wheel alignment and front suspension bushes to prevent premature wear of new tyres.
