2014 Chrysler Ypsilon 1.2L Petrol · SP64 VRN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 65,580 miles passed, the presence of a corroded rear axle suggests the potential for future structural failures. The trend shows intermittent mechanical neglect, evidenced by the car failing its previous two tests due to minor lighting and tyre issues that were only addressed after the failures had occurred. At 65,580 miles, this 2014 Chrysler Ypsilon has low mileage, averaging approximately 5,465 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with less mechanical wear on the drivetrain but can also lead to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion from vehicle standing. Between August 2023 (52,655 miles) and August 2024 (60,553 miles), the car covered nearly 8,000 miles, which is consistent with a pattern of short-distance city commuting. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front braking system and the underside. Records from 2023 and 2024 repeatedly flagged front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored, indicating they have been operated near their service limit without replacement. The 2024 failure regarding both front tyres being worn on the edges and near the legal limit suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require checking. The most significant concern is the corroded rear axle noted in the August 2025 test. While it did not.
