2022 Chrysler Pacifica 3.0L Petrol · AE72 EYF

The 2022 Chrysler Pacifica currently holds a valid MOT, having passed cleanly on 22 May 2026 at 94,021 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is significant because it follows a failure just two days earlier on 20 May 2026 at 93,975 miles, where the tester flagged an engine MIL inoperative or indicating a malfunction. The rapid retest and clean pass suggest the issue was addressed promptly, likely a bulb, sensor, or wiring fault rather than a deep mechanical failure. The maintenance trend is therefore stable and currently improving, with the most recent data point showing full compliance. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of sustained high use. Between the June 2025 test at 81,527 miles and the May 2026 tests at approximately 94,000 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 12,500 miles in under twelve months, adding to an annualised average of around 23,505 miles per year over its four-year life. This is well above the typical UK average and points to regular motorway or long-distance driving. Such usage accelerates wear on consumable components, particularly tyres, brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, and drivetrain mounts, all of which deserve closer scrutiny during any physical inspection. The June 2025 test is the only entry that flagged wear-related advisories, and both are worth noting. The tester recorded both the nearside and offside front tyres worn close to the legal limit, measuring 2.0mm against the 1.6mm minimum. That the vehicle was still running on marginal rubber at the time of its MOT suggests basic tyre upkeep was not a priority for the previous keeper. The same test also noted a damaged nearside windscreen, though it was deemed not to affect the driver's view. A buyer should inspect the windscreen closely for any crack propagation since May 2026, as stone chips and edge damage can spread over time, particularly on a vehicle covering high motorway miles. Beyond the recorded defects, the high annual mileage warrants a thorough mechanical inspection. A buyer should examine the condition of the front brake discs and pads, check for any play in suspension track rod ends and wishbone bushes, and assess the exhaust system for corrosion given the mileage. The engine and transmission should be evaluated for smooth operation under load, particularly given the brief MIL fault recorded in May 2026. While the current MOT is clean, the usage intensity means wear items are likely approaching replacement sooner than on a lower-mileage equivalent.
