2006 Chrysler 300 6.1L Petrol · AE56 CFD

The Chrysler 300 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 4 March 2026 at 82,153 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The vehicle cleared its latest test with no defects logged, and the preceding failure on 23 February 2026 at 82,092 miles also carried no recorded defects, indicating the rejection likely stemmed from administrative or non-mechanical grounds rather than a fault found during inspection. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2006 vehicle, rising from 79,640 miles at the March 2023 failure to 82,153 miles by March 2026, an average of roughly 900 miles per year over that span. The gap between the March 2023 tests and the May 2024 pass shows only 1,892 miles added, and the jump to the 2026 entries adds a further 621 miles, confirming long periods of minimal use consistent with the 4,108 miles per year lifetime average. Sparse test data with no advisories logged means the history offers little insight into wear on consumables or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record flags no advisories yet a 20-year-old saloon of this type is prone to subframe rust and degraded suspension bushes from prolonged standing. The brake discs, calipers, and coil springs warrant physical checks despite the clean recent tests, since low-mileage cars often develop binding calipers and flat-spotted tyres through disuse. Exhaust emissions and flexible brake hoses should also be verified on a ramp before purchase.
