2005 Chrysler Crossfire 3.2L Petrol · HD55 XCG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding mechanical components. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 107,224 miles was a pass, it noted multiple advisories for worn tyres and a persistent oil leak. The history between 2024 and 2025 shows a pattern of failing on significant mechanical items, suggesting the owner only addresses the minimum requirements necessary to pass the inspection rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 21 years old, the recorded 107,224 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,100 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with the age-related degradation seen in the records rather than wear-and-tear. Between June 2024 and May 2025, the car covered only 861 miles, yet it suffered a failure involving brake efficiency, exhaust emissions, and shock absorbers. This indicates the vehicle likely suffers from corrosion and rubber component perish during long periods of stationary. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and chassis, as the records consistently flag corroded underside components, perished bushes, and worn anti-roll bar pins. The recurring failure of the front shock absorbers across multiple years suggests the damping units are nearing the end of their life or were replaced with poor-quality parts. Additionally, the exhaust system shows long-term deterioration with noted manifold leaks that have persisted since at least 2024. The persistent oil leak requires a close look to determine if it is a minor seal weep or a significant gasket failure. Given the 2025 failure for high lambda readings, the engine management and emissions should be checked to ensure the catalytic converter is functioning correctly. Attention should also be paid to the parking brake system, as previous tests showed a history of low effort and failure to lock the rear wheels.
