Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
16 MOT tests are recorded for this 2002 Chrysler Pt Cruiser (EX02 YHU) between March 2006 and June 2015.
The record contains 10 passes and 6 failures.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (21 issues), Suspension (10 issues), Brakes (8 issues), Tyres (7 issues), Steering (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 22 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Offside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1)”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorber has a serious fluid leak (2.7.3)”.
Common Problems: CHRYSLER PT CRUISER
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Cooling-system leaks and overheating(Serious)
Radiators, hoses and thermostat housings can age badly, and a PT Cruiser that has overheated even once is a much riskier proposition than the price suggests.
- Front suspension bush and ball-joint wear(Moderate)
The PT Cruiser is heavy for its size and wears front suspension parts regularly, which creates knocks, vague steering and repeat MOT advisories.
- Body-control and crank-sensor electrical faults(Moderate)
Older PT Cruisers can suffer from random non-starts, warning lights and accessory failures caused by sensors, wiring or body-control-module faults.
