2015 Dodge Unknown 5.7L Petrol · DA61 RAM

The 2015 Dodge passed its most recent MOT on 2026-02-10 with 149,074 miles and no defects recorded—its fourth consecutive clean pass. Mileage has increased steadily since 2022, jumping from 80,212 to 149,074 over four years, averaging over 17,000 miles annually in that period—significantly higher than the typical 12,000–13,500. However, the gap between the 2023 and 2024 MOTs shows a large leap (84,105 to 85,857) followed by a further jump to 143,419 in 2025, suggesting either heavy use or a possible data anomaly. The lack of any defects across all MOTs is notable, but does not rule out wear that doesn’t yet affect safety or emissions. The trend appears stable: no recurring warnings, advisories, or failures, and the final test was at full mileage with no new concerns flagged. That said, high mileage for the vehicle’s age implies increased wear on brakes, suspension, steering joints, and drivetrain components—even if not yet evident in MOT results. Buyers should assume some level of component fatigue and verify condition firsthand. Inspect tyres for uneven wear or age-related cracking, check brake discs and pads for excessive wear or scoring, and listen for clunks or play in the suspension when turning the steering wheel and bouncing the corners. Also confirm the engine and transmission are free of unusual noises or hesitation under load. Most critically, verify service history and ask why the vehicle sat unused between July 2023 and February 2024 (only 1,752 miles added over nearly 12 months).
