2005 Chrysler Crossfire 3.2L Petrol · PF54 WJO

This 2005 Chrysler Crossfire has passed its most recent MOT on 15 May 2026, but the history reveals a significant and recurring pattern of structural and suspension corrosion. While the latest result notes only slight underside corrosion, this follows a very heavy list of advisories and failures from May 2025 involving the front and rear subframes, Macpherson struts, and brake pipes. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be worsening in terms of structural integrity. The 2025 MOT history shows widespread corrosion across multiple suspension components and subframes, as well as corroded brake pipes. Although the 2026 MOT passed, the mention of underside corrosion suggests that the underlying issue of oxidation is a persistent characteristic of this car that has not been fully resolved. With approximately 84,804 miles covered over 21 years, the car has averaged roughly 4,000 miles per year. This is quite low for its age, which often suggests the vehicle has spent long periods stationary. While low mileage can mean less wear on the drivetrain, it can also allow moisture to sit on components, potentially accelerating the corrosion seen in the subframes, struts, and brake lines. The recurring nature of the corrosion—affecting brake pipes, subframes, and suspension struts across multiple years—is the primary risk. Even if the car is currently roadworthy, the extensive list of corrosion advisories from last year indicates a vehicle that is fighting against its age and environment.
