2014 Chrysler Ypsilon 1.2L Petrol · SP64 VRZ

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear in the suspension. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 18,088 miles passed, it did so despite worn bushes on both rear shock absorbers. This represents a clear progression from the December 2024 test where the tester identified thin front brake pads and worn front Macpherson strut pins and bushes. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2014 registration, averaging approximately 1,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent, minimal usage, moving from 13,403 miles in late 2021 to 18,088 miles by late 2025. This pattern suggests the car has seen light use, but long periods of standing often lead to the accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals, which aligns with the various suspension advisories appearing in the later records. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring issues with Macpherson strut pins and bushes in 2024, followed by rear shock absorber wear in 2025, indicate that the rubber elements are reaching the end of their service life due to age rather than distance travelled. Verify that the front brake pads were actually replaced, as they were flagged as thin over a year ago. Given the low mileage, also check for brake disc surface corrosion or seized calipers, which frequently occur on vehicles that sit stationary for long durations.
