2006 Chrysler Crossfire 3.2L Petrol · HXZ 2218

The most recent MOT on 10 September 2025 was a PASS , but the test still recorded a number of serious items: an oil leak (non‑excessive), corrosion on the near‑side front and both rear brake pipes, and a defective rear‑exhaust mounting. The only reason the car failed the MOT the day before was a head‑lamp aim that was too low; that defect was corrected for the subsequent pass. Across the four years of MOT data a clear pattern emerges. From 2022 (no recorded defects) the vehicle has consistently shown corroded brake pipe sections and a minor oil leak . The corrosion appears on the same front and rear lines each year, indicating that the underlying rust has not been addressed. In 2023 a slight play was noted in the near‑side front wheel bearing, and in 2024 an off‑side rear tyre was flagged as damaged with a nail present. The exhaust mounting defect shifted from the front (2023) to the rear (2024‑2025), suggesting that the original mounting point was never repaired and the problem has migrated. The trend is therefore stable to slightly worsening : the same corrosion issues persist and the number of distinct defects has risen, but none have yet caused a MOT failure beyond the head‑lamp aim. The car continues to pass, which means the problems are currently within the legal limits, but they are a warning that further deterioration is likely if left untreated. Mileage is unusually low for a 20‑year‑old vehicle – about 3,200 mi yr⁻¹ .
