2014 Chrysler Ypsilon 1.2L Petrol · B21 EBM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 32,233 miles. This pass followed a failure just three days prior due to a fractured offside front coil spring. While the immediate mechanical failure has been rectified, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of recurring issues related to rubber-based components and tyres. The vehicle appears stable in its current state but requires consistent attention to age-related degradation rather than high mileage wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,686 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the gaps between tests, such as the 3,917 miles driven between October 2024 and October 2025. However, such infrequent use often correlates with the material issues seen in the record. The October 2023 test highlighted this clearly, with all four tyres showing signs of cracking and perishing, suggesting the rubber has aged due to the car sitting stationary for long periods despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension system, as the record shows a long-term history of worn rear shock absorber bushes dating back to 2021. The progression from a slightly worn bush in 2022 to an excessively worn bush in 2023, followed by a fractured spring in 2025, indicates the suspension components are reaching their fatigue limit. The pitted brake discs noted in 2018 also suggest the braking system may suffer from corrosion due to low use, which should be checked for current surface condition and thickness of the rotors.
