2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.0L Petrol · AF54 NVV

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the January 2025 passed test at 98,485 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The December 2024 failure at 98,472 miles and the January 2025 failure at 98,485 miles both recorded no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The most recent pass shows a clean sheet with no advisories logged. Mileage data reveals an irregular usage pattern for this 22-year-old Chrysler. The November 2023 test at 117,130 miles sits markedly above the July 2024 reading of 98,361 miles, a 18,769-mile reversal that suggests either a clerical error in the record or a replacement odometer unit. From July 2024 to January 2025 the car covered just 124 miles, consistent with the low overall average of roughly 4,477 miles per year. Such limited recent use implies long standing periods, which on a 2004 PT Cruiser raises the prospect of perished rubber components and stagnant fluid systems. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for degradation from age and disuse, as the MOT history offers no insight into their condition. Brake discs and calipers warrant examination for corrosion or binding after the extended low-mileage dormancy. Structural integrity around sills and subframes should be checked for rust, given the vehicle's age and the lack of any corrosion advisories in the supplied record. The absence of recorded defects across all five tests prevents identification of recurring mechanical trends. Previous keepers maintained the car to a passable standard at each examination, though the two consecutive no-defect failures in late 2024 and early 2025 point to testing process anomalies rather than owner neglect.
