2008 CHRYSLER 300 C3.0L Diesel

The 2008 Chrysler 300 C presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 8 May 2025 at 142,092 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The May 2023 entry shows a failed test at 124,014 miles logged on the same date as a pass with no defects recorded, which points to an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or worn consumables appear anywhere in the chain, so the upkeep pattern looks consistent rather than deteriorating. Annual mileage sits around 7,900 miles, which is typical for an eighteen-year-old saloon. The records move from 114,782 miles in May 2022 to 124,014 in May 2023, then 134,187 in May 2024 and 142,092 in May 2025. That is a steady 9,000 to 10,000 miles per year with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. The clean sheet across every test suggests the previous keeper kept basic servicing current, though the absence of advisories means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or tired brake discs were either absent or simply not flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection before purchase. The MOT file gives no warning on structural integrity, exhaust emissions, or underbody corrosion, yet an eighteen-year-old Chrysler of this weight is prone to rear coil spring fatigue and front suspension arm wear. Check the brake discs for lip and the calipers for binding, since these items escape MOT mention when within tolerance. Given the sparse but unbroken pass history, the car reads as mechanically sound on paper. Confirm the 2025 test certificate is live and inspect for hidden rust at sills and suspension mounts that a clean MOT will not always capture.
