Known faults for Chrysler Chrysler PT Cruiser
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Poor
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: CHRYSLER PT CRUISER
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Cooling-system leaks and overheating(Serious)
Radiators, hoses and thermostat housings can age badly, and a PT Cruiser that has overheated even once is a much riskier proposition than the price suggests.
- Front suspension bush and ball-joint wear(Moderate)
The PT Cruiser is heavy for its size and wears front suspension parts regularly, which creates knocks, vague steering and repeat MOT advisories.
- Body-control and crank-sensor electrical faults(Moderate)
Older PT Cruisers can suffer from random non-starts, warning lights and accessory failures caused by sensors, wiring or body-control-module faults.
