Best and Worst Years
Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2011 model has the highest pass rate at 71% from 127 tests. The 2008 model has the lowest at 61%. The 10 point gap means pass rates vary somewhat between years, but no year is dramatically different. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger.
Reliability Trend
Newer Chrysler-Jeep Patriots pass their MOT more often than older ones, by 4 percentage points on average, which is mostly down to age and wear.
Mileage Across Years
The oldest model in our data (2007) averages 115,241 miles, while the newest (2011) averages 101,344 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
Compared to the Chrysler-Jeep brand average of 74%, the Patriot is 7 points lower, placing it among the less reliable Chrysler-Jeep models.
