2012 CHRYSLER DELTA1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its history, though the lack of recent data is a primary concern. The last recorded test in January 2019 at 50,246 miles passed with only minor defects related to an insecure battery and a nail in the nearside rear tyre. Since no MOT has been recorded for seven years, the vehicle's current roadworthiness is unverified and likely expired. The historical trend suggests the car was well-maintained during operation before a long period of inactivity. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. Data shows a significant jump in usage between September 2016 and September 2017, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in a single year. However, usage slowed drastically between 2017 and 2019, with only 2,205 miles recorded. This indicates long periods of standing stationary, which often leads to dry rot in rubber components, seized brake caliper pistons, and fluid degradation despite the low overall mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on signs of long-term storage. The 2016 advisory regarding a bald offside front tyre on the extreme inner edge suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be rechecked. Given the seven-year gap in testing, checking for sidewall cracking on the tyres and excessive corrosion on the undercarriage is critical. Inspect the brake discs for heavy surface pitting or binding, as low-mileage vehicles that sit often suffer from internal rust fractures.
