Jeep Compass Limited Crd: MOT pass rate and reliability data
The Jeep Compass Limited Crd fails its first MOT more often than the average UK car, by 16 percentage points. These figures come from the DVSA's full year of anonymised MOT results, covering 552 individual Jeep Compass Limited Crd tests. Nothing here is an estimate or a survey.
The numbers
| First-time pass rate | 60.7% |
| UK national average | 76.7% |
| Difference | -16 points |
| Tests analysed | 552 |
| Average mileage at test | 90,186 miles |
| Average year of manufacture | 2011 |

What this means if you are buying one
A 60.7% first-time pass rate means roughly 39 in every 100 Jeep Compass Limited Crds presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is worse than average, so budget for remedial work and treat a fresh 12-month MOT as a genuine selling point rather than a given. The average Jeep Compass Limited Crd tested had covered 90,186 miles and was built around 2011.
What this means at salvage auction
Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. On a Jeep Compass Limited Crd bought as a repairable salvage, assume the mechanical side needs more than the visible accident damage, and pad your repair estimate accordingly.
Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.
Looking at a specific Jeep Compass Limited Crd rather than the model in general? The free check covers its MOT and mileage history, and the full HPI report confirms the insurance write-off category, outstanding finance and whether it is recorded stolen, from licensed data for 5 credits. Already own one that has been damaged? Work out whether fixing it beats selling it with the repair or scrap calculator, and see what damaged Jeep Compass Limited Crds actually sold for at UK salvage auction.
