CHRYSLER CROSSFIRE2006 · 3.2L PETROL

The vehicle has just passed its MOT as of May 22, 2026, but this followed a failure three days prior. There is a concerning recurring pattern regarding the nearside front coil spring, which failed in April 2024 and failed again in May 2026. This repetition suggests that the previous repair may have been inadequate or that the suspension is deteriorating rapidly. The overall condition trend appears to be worsening. While the 2024 and 2025 tests were relatively clean, the most recent inspection revealed both the repeat spring failure and a new issue with play in the offside front wheel bearing. The recorded mileage of 48,273 is very low for a twenty-year-old car. This suggests the vehicle has likely spent long periods standing rather than being used regularly, which often leads to components failing due to age and corrosion rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should first physically inspect the front suspension for any signs of poor workmanship or further corrosion. You should also listen for humming or droning noises during a test drive to assess the current state of the wheel bearings.
