2012 Chrysler 300 3.0L Diesel · T11 FAS

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with eight consecutive MOT passes and a minimal history of defects. The most recent test on 10 February 2026 was completed without any recorded defects, continuing a stable trend of passing tests with few to no advisories over the last seven years. With 89,350 miles recorded over approximately 14 years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,382 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age, suggesting that wear on the drivetrain, suspension components, and engine internals is likely consistent with standard operational expectations rather than the accelerated wear seen in high-mileage examples or the degradation associated with prolonged periods of inactivity. Attention should be directed toward the braking system, specifically the rear pads which were flagged as wearing thin during the February 2025 inspection. While the subsequent 2026 test recorded no defects, a test drive should focus on detecting any grinding noises from the rear or a lack of pedal firmness, which would indicate that the pads have reached the end of their service life and require replacement. Additionally, the 2019 record noted cracking and perishing on all four tyre inner sidewalls. Although this is an older entry, it is prudent to inspect the current tyres for similar sidewall degradation or weather cracking. Ensure there is no uneven wear across the tread, which could point to underlying suspension or alignment issues not currently flagged in the DVSA history.
