2004 Chrysler Crossfire 3.2L Petrol · SG54 AAU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in November 2025 at 79,532 miles with no defects recorded. However, the maintenance history reveals a trend of structural concern that required significant intervention. In March 2025, the car failed due to excessive corrosion on the offside rear suspension component mounting, which compromised the structural strength of both the inner and outer sills. While this was repaired and covered in underseal to pass subsequent tests, the presence of structural rust indicates that the vehicle is susceptible to advanced oxidation. The mileage profile is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,615 miles per year. There is a significant decade-long gap between July 2015 and March 2025, during which the car covered only 6,511 miles. This period of infrequent use suggests the vehicle sat stationary for long durations, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake fluid contamination despite the low mechanical wear-and-tear typically associated with the engine and drivetrain. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically focusing on the repairs performed in early 2025. The underseal on the rear suspension mountings should be checked to ensure corrosion is not actively spreading beneath the surface. Given the past failures involving ball joint play, incomplete coil springs, and uneven tyre wear, the entire suspension geometry should be inspected for worn bushes and perished rubber. The history of oil leaks noted in 2015 also warrants a close look at engine gaskets and seals to ensure no active weeping has returned after the long periods of inactivity.
