2009 Chrysler-Jeep 300 3.0L Diesel · AJ09 DUG

The 2009 Chrysler-Jeep 300 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 11 September 2025 at 66,644 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though two days earlier on 9 September 2025 the same vehicle failed at 66,641 miles with no defects formally recorded, a pattern that points to an administrative or documentation failure at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 66,644 against an August 2022 figure of 57,722, giving an average of under 3,000 miles per year over that span and roughly 3,920 annually since registration. The car covered only 4,617 miles between the August 2022 and September 2025 tests. Such low use for a 17-year-old vehicle suggests extended standing periods, which commonly accelerate rubber perishing, brake caliper seizure, and underbody corrosion even where the MOT shows a clear sheet. The DVSA record flags no advisories or defects across any test from 2022 to 2025, so no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, or exhaust emission issues are evidenced. A clean history with no corrosion or structural integrity notes is a positive sign for prior ownership care. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs for rust pitting from disuse, check suspension arms and bushes for age-related cracking, and examine sills and subframes for hidden structural rust. Confirm the September 2025 fail-with-no-defect entry was a paperwork issue and not a suppressed mechanical concern before completion.
