2013 CHRYSLER 3003.0L DIESEL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in November 2025. While it is currently roadworthy, the history reveals a persistent mechanical issue that has not been addressed. There is a clear, recurring pattern regarding the rear sub-frame pins and bushes. These have been flagged as worn on three consecutive MOT tests since December 2023. While the wear has not yet reached a level that caused a failure, the fact that this advisory has persisted for several years suggests a trend of deferred maintenance. Earlier records from 2021 and 2023 also highlight pitted and scored brake discs. Although these are not mentioned in the most recent test, they indicate a history of surface corrosion or wear. The mileage of 86,293 is typical for a 13-year-old vehicle. This suggests the car has been used regularly rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing or the heavy wear of high-mileage use. A buyer should first inspect the rear suspension for play or perished rubber in the sub-frame bushes.
