Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Jeep Patriot Overland Crd Owners

These checks follow this Jeep Patriot Overland Crd's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Jeep Patriot Overland Crd.

• the suspension joints — “ball joint excessively worn”

  With the car parked on level ground, rock the top of each front wheel in and out while someone watches the suspension arm. Clunks, or rubber boots split and greasy, are what testers record here.

• the lights — “position lamp not working”

  Switch everything on and walk round the car: both headlamps on dip and main, every indicator, both brake lights, reverse, fog and the two number-plate lamps. A bulb is a few pounds and a five-minute job.

• corrosion — “sub-frame corroded and seriously weakened”

  Look under the sills, around the jacking points and where the suspension mounts meet the body. Flaking, holed or crumbly metal fails; a brown stain on sound metal does not.
