2012 Chrysler Delta 1.4L Petrol · WR12 NFL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 97,559 miles was a pass, the vehicle failed just seven miles prior. This failure highlighted a significant front braking imbalance and a faulty stop lamp switch, which were only addressed immediately before the re-test. The trend shows recurring issues with suspension and braking across multiple years, suggesting the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they reach the point of legal failure. At 97,559 miles, this 14-year-old Chrysler has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for its age. The mileage progression shows consistent use, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between July 2024 and July 2025, and another 5,000 miles leading into the 2023 test. This relatively low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high motorway stress, but the recurring mechanical failures indicate that age-related degradation and corrosion are greater concerns than total mileage wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front sub-frame, as corrosion has been flagged in three consecutive years (2023, 2024, and 2025). While noted as not seriously weakened yet, rust on structural components is progressive and requires close monitoring. The suspension also demands attention; the offside front suspension arm bushes and ball joints were flagged for wear in 2023 and 2025. You should check for any play in the steering geometry to ensure previous repairs were effective. The braking system shows a clear history of neglect, with worn or pitted front discs and thin rear pads appearing in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The 2025 failure for a significant brake imbalance suggests a potentially sticking caliper or uneven wear that may not be fully resolved. Verify that the current brake discs are not pitted or scored, as this was a recurring advisory throughout the last two years of recorded testing.
