1928 DODGE BROTHERS 3.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance history based on the available records, though the data is now obsolete by over fourteen years. The final recorded test on 16 May 2012 at 20,041 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a period of high mechanical standards during the early 2010s where components remained within tolerance. However, because no tests have been performed since 2012, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle cannot be verified through official DVSA records. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 204 miles per year over its century of existence. Between March 2008 and May 2012, the vehicle covered 5,705 miles, representing an average of just 1,426 miles per annum. This low rate of usage suggests the car was used as a fair weather vehicle rather than a primary driver. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the significant gap in the MOT testing history implies a high risk of fluid degradation, perished seals, and seized brake components, which often occur in vehicles that remain stationary in storage for long periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and rubber-based components. Given the age and low usage, the chassis must be checked for deep-seated corrosion or structural rot that may have developed since the last inspection. The braking system requires an assessment for seized calipers or perished hydraulic lines, while the suspension bushes should be inspected for cracking or collapse. Additionally, the state of the tyres and the condition of the engine fluids are critical factors that must be verified to ensure the vehicle is safe for road use despite its clean historical record.
