AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Chrysler Ypsilon exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, concluding with a clear pass on 13 November 2025 at 96,860 miles. While the vehicle failed tests on 15 November 2023 and 19 November 2024, the absence of recorded defects for these failures suggests the issues were rectified immediately on the same day, allowing for a subsequent pass. This pattern indicates that the vehicle has met the minimum legal safety standards consistently over the last three annual inspections. The recorded mileage of 96,860 miles over a 14-year lifespan averages approximately 6,919 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage expectations for a vehicle of this age. The consistent annual testing cadence suggests the car has remained in regular operation rather than experiencing prolonged periods of inactivity. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would indicate long-term storage or potential issues related to neglected seals or seized mechanical components. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as these components are prone to wear at this mileage. Although the MOT record does not list specific advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close check for corrosion on the subframe and brake lines, which may not always be captured in a basic test. Verify the condition of the tyres and check for any uneven wear patterns that could point to misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes. Given the age of the vehicle, a detailed inspection of the exhaust system and any potential oil leaks around the engine block is recommended to supplement the MOT data. Buying score: 70. Risk level: Low.
