Insight summary

Chrysler Ypsilon is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 4,102 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 72.4% from 33,106 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 44. The current pool shows an average of 68,788 miles and an average age of 12.1 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 68,788 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by diesel, and the most frequent defect themes are coil springs, shock absorbers and parking brake. The practical read is that the Chrysler Ypsilon deserves a careful inspection before buying, because condition and maintenance appear to matter more than the badge.
