M5 ENN MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2006 Chrysler 300 (M5 ENN) between May 2024 and January 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 16 January 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (3 issues), Tyres (2 issues), Lighting (2 issues), Steering (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 3 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.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and thorough mechanical inspection. While the recent MOT history shows passing results, the pattern of failures just before passing suggests recurring issues that need investigation.
When viewing this vehicle, focus on the gap between the MOT failures and passes. In January 2026, the car failed at 125,780 miles and passed at 125,825 miles; you should ask the seller exactly what caused that failure and what repairs were carried out during those 45 miles of driving.
Request a detailed service history to see if the maintenance schedule matches the mileage. Given the 2987cc engine size, ensure that all major service items, such as timing belts or fluid changes, have been documented, as these are critical for high-mileage diesel engines of this era.
Running costs for this 3.0L diesel model will be relatively high compared to smaller family cars. The large engine displacement suggests higher fuel consumption, particularly in urban environments, and a higher tax band due to CO2 emissions.
Insurance groups for older, large-capacity diesel saloons tend to be mid-to-high. Expect maintenance costs to be significant, as parts for Chrysler-Jeep models can sometimes carry a premium compared to mainstream European brands. Estimated annual running costs are roughly £1,800-£2,400 depending on annual mileage and driving style.
Because the MOT records for 2025 and 2026 both show failures immediately preceding a pass, you must inspect the work performed to rectify those defects. Ask for the specific failure reasons, as the digital records provided do not list the specific components that failed (e.g., brakes, suspension, or lighting).
Check the condition of the diesel engine for any signs of oil leaks or excessive smoke, which can be common in high-mileage 3.0L units. Additionally, inspect the tyres and braking components, as these are frequent areas for MOT advisories and failures on larger, heavier vehicles like this 300.
This 2006 Chrysler Jeep 300 features a large 2.9L diesel engine and has covered 125,825 miles as of its last test. The MOT history shows a pattern where the vehicle fails an inspection only to pass shortly after, with failures recorded in both 2025 and 2026. The mileage is consistent with a vehicle of this age, but the recent history requires careful scrutiny.
There is no aggregate MOT data available to provide a specific reliability reputation for the Chrysler Jeep 300.
