Insight summary

Jeep Compass is a rare model in this snapshot, with 8,636 represented vehicles and 0.02% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 82.7% from 46,487 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 47. The current pool shows an average of 50,327 miles and an average age of 6.6 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 85,939 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by diesel, and the most frequent defect themes are tyre condition, engine warning light and windscreen damage. The practical read is that the Jeep Compass looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
