What is the Chrysler MOT pass rate?

60.8% of 11,796 class-4 initial MOT tests on Chrysler cars passed first time in 2024 — below the 71.2% UK average across all published models.

Which Chrysler has the best MOT pass rate?

Of the Chrysler model groups with a substantial sample, the Crossfire has the highest initial pass rate at 66% across 1,809 tests. Pass rates track vehicle age closely, so newer model groups tend to sit higher.

Does a good Chrysler pass rate mean the car I am looking at is fine?

No. A model-level rate describes a population, not one vehicle. Enter the registration for that car's own MOT, tax and mileage record, and check for outstanding finance, write-off and stolen markers before you buy.

Pass rates track age more strongly than badge: an older Chrysler is compared here against older cars of every other make, so read the age table below before drawing conclusions about the brand.

What Chrysler cars fail on

The items most often behind a first-test failure across Chrysler model groups, as a share of Chrysler tests. DVSA publishes each model group's six most common categories, so this ranks the biggest published causes rather than every possible one.

Brake Performance — 9% of Chrysler tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
Suspension Arms — 4.8% of Chrysler tests. Worn arms or bushes. A common age-related repair that affects handling and tyre wear.
Headlamp Aim — 3.5% of Chrysler tests. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
Springs — 3.4% of Chrysler tests. A broken or sagging coil spring. Replaced in pairs, so it is not the cheapest failure.
Exhaust Emissions — 3.4% of Chrysler tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
Shock Absorbers — 2.6% of Chrysler tests. Leaking or worn dampers. Replaced in pairs and noticeable in how the car rides.
Condition — 2.6% of Chrysler tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
Position Lamps — 2.4% of Chrysler tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.

Methodology and limitations

MOT outcomes describe testable items at the time of inspection. They are not a measure of overall mechanical reliability.

Scope: Class 4 normal initial MOT tests completed in 2024. Models require at least 1,000 qualifying tests. Duplicate source rows are removed using official DVSA test IDs.
