2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.4L Petrol · YY06 SVT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 October 2025 at 104,533 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test but was rectified before the subsequent pass, suggesting that the previous owner addresses specific faults only when prompted by the tester rather than through a preventative maintenance schedule. At approximately 20 years old, the recorded mileage of 104,533 represents a low annual average of roughly 5,200 miles. The data shows very consistent usage intervals, with approximately 1,900 miles covered between the October 2023 and October 2024 tests, and another 1,998 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This low-frequency usage often reduces mechanical wear on drivetrain components, but it increases the risk of rubber components degrading, brake calipers seizing, and internal corrosion due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the sills and wheel arches, as these vehicles are prone to significant rust at this age. Because the MOT history shows no advisories despite the recurring failures, check the suspension bushes and bushings which may have perished from age rather than mileage alone. Additionally, inspect the brake system for binding calipers or corroded discs, as low mileage often leads to surface rust and piston failure on unused braking surfaces.
