2020 Jeep Compass 1.4L Petrol · Y22 SAB

The 2020 Jeep Compass passed its most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 at 55,669 miles with only a minor advisory noted on the rear brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. This follows a clean test from the same date in 2024 at 49,809 miles. However, the failed test just prior to that in December 2024 revealed multiple issues: dangerously thin front brake pads, two rear tyres with cuts exposing the ply or cords, and an inadequate windscreen washer system. These defects indicate lapses in maintenance, particularly concerning safety-critical components. The overall trend appears to have stabilised recently, but the prior failure raises concerns about inconsistent upkeep. The vehicle has accumulated 55,669 miles over approximately six years, averaging around 9,278 miles annually. This aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The recorded mileage progression is relatively steady, with a 6,914-mile increase between December 2024 and December 2025. There are no significant gaps or spikes in the MOT history that suggest long-term disuse or sudden high-mileage operation. The data does not show any signs of tampering, and the MOT record appears consistent with regular annual testing and use. Buyers should pay particular attention to the braking system when inspecting this vehicle. The front brake pads were found to be dangerously thin in December 2024, and the rear discs were flagged as worn in the latest test. These indicate either inconsistent brake maintenance or excessive wear from driving conditions. Tyre condition also warrants close inspection, as multiple advisories and failures were recorded, including cuts exposing the internal structure and cracking or perishing in the rear tyres. These issues may point to poor maintenance or exposure to harsh conditions. Additionally, the windscreen washer system was found to be inadequate during the failed test, which could affect visibility and safety in wet or dirty conditions. While no structural or suspension issues were recorded, the vehicle should still be checked for hidden corrosion or wear in suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly given the tyre wear patterns observed.
