Compass Limited Crd: a below-average pass rate worth digging into
Across 806 MOT tests, the Compass Limited Crd returns 66.6% first-time pass — well below the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is worn suspension bushes. A number-plate lamp out and a torn suspension dust cover round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 87,595, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.

Buying or keeping a Compass Limited Crd?

If you own a Compass Limited Crd and your last MOT looked nothing like the ranked failures above, that's normal — individual cars vary widely. The ranking shows the patterns testers flag most often across the country.
