2013 Chrysler Ypsilon 1.2L Petrol · YY62 KDO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in February 2026 at 106,492 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the most recent failure involved only a minor electrical issue regarding a position lamp which was rectified immediately. While the 2024 record indicated a period of neglect, the subsequent history suggests the current owner is now addressing defects as they are identified rather than allowing them to persist. At 106,492 miles over 13 years, the Chrysler has averaged approximately 8,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a city car. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 9,000 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 5,000 miles covered in the last twelve months. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the February 2024 test flagged an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint. Although this was repaired, the previous failure also noted three tyres worn to the legal limit with edge wear, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn shock absorbers. It is vital to check the current tyre set for uneven wear to ensure the geometry has been correctly corrected. The braking system also warrants attention given the 2024 failure for thin front brake pads. While the vehicle passed its latest test, the buyer should manually verify the remaining pad thickness and check for any signs of scoring or thinning on the discs. Since no structural corrosion or rust advisories appear in the history, the primary focus should remain on these mechanical wear-and-tear items to ensure the vehicle remains reliable for high mileage.
