2014 Chrysler Ypsilon 1.2L Petrol · LS14 PLU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT tests, conducted on October 15, 2025 , reveal a critical inconsistency: the same test date shows both a pass and a fail at 65,008 miles , with no recorded defects in either instance. This duplication suggests either an administrative error or a test rerun with no substantive findings. The preceding MOT, on October 2, 2024 , at 56,049 miles , passed without issues, indicating no recent mechanical failures. However, the October 2, 2023 test at 47,334 miles also shows a pass and fail on the same date with no defects, reinforcing the likelihood of a procedural anomaly rather than a recurring mechanical problem. The overall trend is stable, but the lack of defects across multiple tests does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-stress components like suspension or brakes—given the vehicle’s age and low mileage. The recorded mileage of 65,008 miles over 12 years (as of 2026) equates to approximately 5,417 miles annually , which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests— 9,000 miles between October 2023 and October 2024 , and another 9,000 miles between October 2024 and October 2025 —suggests either minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. Such low mileage can mask wear issues, as components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. The absence of advisories or defects in recent tests does not guarantee these systems remain intact, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, accelerating corrosion or seal deterioration. Given the lack of recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components , including rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe integrity , as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. The braking system , particularly rear brake binding (a frequent issue in older Chrysler models), should be tested for uneven wear or caliper seizure. Exhaust emissions and structural corrosion —especially around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe—should also be scrutinised, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles. The tyre tread depth and allignment warrant immediate verification, though the MOT record does not indicate any prior failures in this area. Finally, the electrical system , including headlamp alignment and bulb functionality , should be checked, as these are frequently overlooked but critical for roadworthiness.
