2002 Chrysler Cruiser 2.0L Petrol · AA52 CAP

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in June 2025, but this followed a failure for significant structural corrosion on the offside outer sill. The evidence shows a clear and worsening trend of structural decay. The offside sill progressed from being noted as not excessive in 2022 to excessively corroded in 2024, and finally to a state where rigidity was significantly reduced by mid-2025. There is also recorded corrosion on the rear sub-frame. Mechanical wear is also increasing. Recent advisories highlight play in the steering rack inner joint and worn front suspension arm bushes on both sides. This follows previous failures for track rod ends, suggesting the front-end components are steadily degrading. The mileage is low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,305 miles per year. While this suggests light use, the advanced state of structural rust often implies the car may have spent long periods standing in damp conditions rather than being driven regularly. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the sills and rear sub-frame to determine the extent of the rust and the quality of any recent repairs.
