2012 Chrysler-Jeep 300 3.0L Diesel · A951 STU

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, as the June 9 2026 MOT at 38,998 miles recorded a pass with no defects. All tests since 2022 have shown no new faults, indicating a stable maintenance record despite earlier issues. The mileage profile is unusually low for a 14‑year‑old 2012 model, averaging roughly 2,800 miles per year, yet the record shows irregular usage. Mileage rose from 20,531 miles in July 2016 to 37,652 miles by July 2017, a gain of 17,121 miles in one year, and again jumped from 33,610 miles in June 2022 to 56,513 miles by May 2023, suggesting periods of intensive use followed by lighter operation. Recurring observations include slight play in the front lower suspension arm ball joints noted in the June 6 2022 test and a parking brake efficiency below 50 % at the same mileage, both of which merit close inspection. The 2015 test recorded under‑trays fitted, obscuring some underside components and suggesting potential hidden corrosion. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the suspension arms, ball joints, bushes and coil springs, verify the functionality of the parking brake, inspect the underside for rust behind the under‑trays, and assess recent tyre tread and brake disc wear to confirm that the vehicle’s mechanical health matches its clean MOT history.
