2013 Chrysler Ypsilon 1.2L Petrol · AE63 NFC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in exhaust system integrity. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 70,609 miles passed, the tester identified a minor exhaust gas leak. This follows a similar failure in October 2024 at 66,420 miles, where a missing clamp between the silencer and the centre pipe caused a leak. Although the vehicle passed these tests, the recurrence of exhaust issues suggests that the system is being patched rather than fully refurbished. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 70,609 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,400 miles. The data shows a consistent usage pattern over recent years, with roughly 4,200 miles driven between the October 2024 and December 2025 tests. This low-intensity usage typically spares the drivetrain and engine components, but it often leads to accelerated aging of rubber components and seals due to long periods of standing or short trip cycles. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the exhaust system to ensure the minor leak noted in late 2025 is not indicative of deeper corrosion or structural thinning in the manifold. The suspension also requires attention, specifically the nearside rear coil spring which failed in 2023 at 60,663 miles. While this part was clearly replaced to pass the test, the remaining springs should be checked for signs of fatigue or heavy surface corrosion. Additionally, verify the condition of the windscreen and the nearside rear light unit mentioned in previous records to ensure these defects were rectified to a professional standard rather than ignored.
