2004 Chrysler Crossfire 3.2L Petrol · LW04 LRV

The most recent MOT in March 2026 resulted in a pass, though it flagged minor issues regarding a deteriorating registration plate and product on the headlamp lenses. While the car is currently legal, the history shows a significant period of mechanical decline and heavy component failure. The vehicle experienced a major cluster of failures in late 2024, involving critical safety items such as worn suspension ball joints and bushes, corroded coil springs, worn shock absorbers, and inadequate brake pads. Although the car has passed since then, the emergence of an oil leak in March 2025 suggests that engine-related maintenance may be required. The mileage is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging only about 4,228 miles per year. While this suggests lighter overall use, the specific failures recorded in 2024—particularly regarding suspension bushings and corrosion—could imply that the car has suffered from periods of being stationary, which often causes rubber parts to perish and metal components to corrode. Before purchasing, you should personally inspect the engine area for signs of the reported oil leak and check the condition of the suspension bushes and ball joints. You should also verify that the headlamp lenses are clear and that the braking system shows no signs of the previous wear.
