Chrysler 300C MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Chrysler 300Cs in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Chrysler 300C registrations over time

Registrations of Chrysler 300Cs for the first time in Great Britain peaked at 2,905 in 2007. In 2025, 1 were registered. With almost none registered new, the number on the road is likely to keep falling.

  • Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
  • Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “Chrysler 300C”, “08MY Chrysler 300C”, “Chrysler 300C Model Year 2010”, “Chrysler 300C MY2012”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Chrysler 300C safety recalls

DVSA lists 8 safety recalls for the Chrysler 300C since 1992, the first in 2008. The most recent was launched on 20 March 2026.

Passenger airbag inflator

Launched 20 March 2026 DVSA recall R/2026/131 Manufacturer ref. U03

Defect
The front passenger airbag inflator (PAB) may contain propellant that could possibly degrade over a period of time. This may cause metal fragments to pass through the air bag and into the vehicle interior at high speed which may result in injury to vehicle occupants in the event of a deployment event.
Remedy
On affected vehicles replace the inflator assembly.

All 8 Chrysler 300C recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Chrysler 300C. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
  • Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
