Numbers are still rising: the latest count is the highest in this series.
In 2025, 76.1% of Jeep Compass MOT tests were passed first time,
against 72.8% for all cars.
Cars of the same ages as the Jeep Compasses tested pass 81.9% of the time, so the Jeep Compass does worse than average for its age, by 5.8 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 76.0%.

7 years of the Jeep Compass, by year of first registration, have their own page with MOT results, common faults, mileage and how many are left. Against all cars of the same age, the 2020 cars did best at their 2025 MOT (82.9% passed first time) and the 2011 cars worst (53.8%).
Registered: cars on the DVLA record at the end of the year they were first registered (these counts start in 2014, so older years show a dash). Left:
licensed or declared SORN at the end of 2025.
Both cover the United Kingdom. Pass rate: first-time passes at normal MOT tests in Great
Britain in 2025; all cars: every car first registered the same year.

How we use engine sizes.
Jeep Compass fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Jeep Compass from 2007, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2019 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol, diesel and petrol hybrid versions ranges from 29.4 to 52.3 mpg, with CO2 of 122 to 221 g/km; electric versions have an official range of 277 to 350 miles; plug-in hybrid versions are rated at 137.1 to 183.4 mpg (weighted). On the older NEDC test (listings 2007 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 29.7 to 64.2 mpg, with CO2 of 117 to 226 g/km.

Older NEDC figures, listed 2007 to 2018 (7 engine and fuel groups)
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2007 to 2018
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide)
come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
Plug-in hybrid figures are VCA’s weighted values, which count driving on battery power as
well as on fuel.
Electric cars produce no exhaust CO2; range and miles per kWh are VCA’s official figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “Compass”, “Jeep Compass MY 2019”, “Compass MY24”, “Compass MY23”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Jeep Compass safety recalls
DVSA lists 13 safety recalls for the Jeep Compass since 1992, the first in 2008. The most recent was launched on 22 August 2024.
2024 Jeep Renegade and Compass PHEV 12V cable connection
Launched 22 August 2024DVSA recall R/2024/288Manufacturer ref. 74B
Defect
On certain vehicles the under-seat intermediate connection or the rear connection to the Integrated Dual Charging Module (IDCM) may not be tightened to the proper torque which may cause overheating of the terminal with risk of thermal incident to surrounding parts.
Remedy
Check the conformity of the fastener torque on the 12V cable connection and if required replacement of the cable.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Jeep Compass. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
