The JEEP COMPASS (2011-13) 5DR SUV FWD 2.2 CRD DPF 134 EU5 LIMITED 6SPD is a five-door, front-wheel-drive compact SUV, offering a higher driving position and more practical cabin than a conventional family hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable, road-focused SUVs such as the Nissan Qashqai and Hyundai ix35, with Jeep styling giving it a rugged look. Mycarcheck.com recorded 191 look-ups covering 82 different VINs, a useful snapshot of interest in this model. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of about £3,700 and average recorded mileage of 91,000 miles; typical annual mileage was 4,000. The cars checked had around four previous keepers on average, so reviewing each vehicle’s history is especially worthwhile. The 2.2-litre diesel and Limited trim make this Compass a choice for families, longer commutes and buyers wanting SUV space without a large four-wheel-drive vehicle. It prioritises practicality and Jeep character over sporty handling.
