2012 Chrysler Delta 1.4L Petrol · KY12 KNF

The 2012 CHRYSLER DELTA has a roadworthiness status of Pass, but the maintenance history presents a clear trend of worsening condition, specifically concerning the braking and suspension systems. The most recent test on 2025-10-25 was passed at 78,953 miles, yet the vehicle has suffered a series of failures in the preceding years, culminating in a failure on 2023-10-11 at 71,578 miles. This indicates that the vehicle has not maintained a stable maintenance pattern; rather, the accumulated wear suggests that basic upkeep was skipped or neglected over the last two and a half years, leading to the current deterioration. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle is approximately 14 years old with 78,953 miles, which is low for its age but reflects a specific maintenance gap. The significant gap between the 2025 test and the 2023 failure points to a period of inactivity where critical components were not inspected or serviced. The rapid mileage accumulation suggests that the vehicle has been driven for over a year without any major preventative maintenance, meaning that the wear on the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain is now at a level that would likely fail at the 100% threshold within the next 12 to 18 months. Consequently, the buyer must inspect the vehicle immediately following the 2025-10-25 test, as the current roadworthiness is compromised by the structural integrity of the suspension and braking components. The most critical focus should be on the binding rear brakes, which have been flagged in the 2025-10-25 test as having a slight distortion in the nearside front wheel, and on the central exhaust mounting which was defective in the same test. Given the failure on 2023-10-11 and the lack of recent inspections, the vehicle risks imminent failure due to the wear on the brake discs and the integrity of the suspension bushings, which are the most likely points of failure in a vehicle of this age and mileage.
