The same fault on any wheel or side counts once.

Chrysler Ypsilon by year

3 years of the Chrysler Ypsilon, by year of first registration, have their own page with MOT results, common faults, mileage and how many are left. Against all cars of the same age, the 2013 cars did best at their 2025 MOT (61.8% passed first time) and the 2014 cars worst (60.5%).

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

• 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 Ypsilon, MY 2014”, “Chrysler Ypsilon”, “Chrysler Ypsilon MY2012”, “Chrysler Ypsilon, MY 2013”. How we use VCA’s figures.

All 4 Chrysler Ypsilon recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Chrysler Ypsilon. 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.
