2009 Jeep Patriot Sport Crd

CarHunch analysed 140 real MOT records for the 2009 Jeep Patriot Sport Crd. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2009 Jeep Patriot Sport CRD passes its MOT first time in only 67.8% of cases, well below the UK average of 80%, and this is a genuine concern: 55% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is markedly high and suggests systemic issues rather than isolated failures. You're looking at a vehicle that needs careful vetting before purchase.

At 75,000 miles median mileage for a 15-year-old car, these Patriots are running close to the national average, but the real warning lies in the repair burden—owners face an average of 5 failures and 28 advisories per MOT test, indicating widespread wear across multiple systems. Before committing to one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the diesel engine, cooling system, and brakes, since high advisory counts typically point to accumulating damage rather than one-off fixes.

What to check before buying a 2009 Jeep Patriot Sport Crd

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • ⚠️ 55% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
