2012 Chrysler Ypsilon Black AND RED 1.2L Petrol · SW12 AAJ

This vehicle demonstrates a stable and high standard of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 22 March 2025 at 62,756 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to February 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets DVSA requirements without the need for corrective work during the testing process. The mileage is notably low for a 14 year old car, averaging roughly 4,483 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable over the last four years, growing from 51,746 miles in February 2022 to 62,756 miles by March 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps that would suggest clocking or prolonged periods of stagnation. One anomaly appears in February 2023, where the car failed its test at 54,811 miles before passing shortly after on 13 March 2023 at 55,006 miles. The record does not specify the failure reason, but the rapid turnaround suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly. The absence of any advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear across multiple years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a sheltered life or diligent preventative maintenance. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. The buyer should check for perished rubber seals, the condition of the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, and the operation of the braking system to ensure no calipers have seized during periods of light use. Given the clean MOT history, the primary risk is not mechanical neglect but typical age-related degradation of consumables.
