2008 DODGE (USA) NITRO2.8L DIESEL

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent test in November 2025 at 118,471 miles. While the history shows instances of failure, the trend indicates that the owner is proactive in rectifying faults to maintain continuous compliance. The lack of advisories on the last two tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components inspected by the tester are currently meeting acceptable standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the vehicle covered roughly 9,600 miles, showing a steady rate of use compared to the previous year. The short interval between October 2024 and November 2024, where the vehicle failed and then passed within three days with minimal travel, suggests the failures were related to easily rectified items or minor adjustments that required immediate attention rather than long-term mechanical degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as older vehicles of this age are prone to corrosion and bushing wear. Despite the recent clean passes, the previous failures in 2023 and 2024 imply that specific components have reached the end of their service life. Inspect for signs of weeping rust on mounting points and check the condition of the control arms to ensure that the stability seen in the MOT record is not masking underlying fatigue.
