2008 Dodge (usa) Nitro SXT CRD A 2.8L Diesel · EX08 THG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a pass on 05 November 2025 at 108,913 miles. While the most recent test showed no defects, the maintenance trend indicates a period of instability in late 2025. The car suffered two consecutive failures in September and October 2025 with just 80 miles between them, suggesting a specific issue required immediate rectification to achieve the final pass. Despite these recent setbacks, the vehicle has maintained a clean record of passes over the previous two years. The recorded mileage of 108,913 miles over 18 years represents an average annual of approximately 6,051 miles per annum, which aligns with low usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a significant spike in activity between October 2023 at 100,905 miles and September 2024 at 104,606 miles, where it covered nearly 4,000 miles in under eleven months. However, the rapid accumulation of 4,307 miles between September 2024 and November 2025 indicates the vehicle is currently being used more frequently than its historical average suggests. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the components that caused the two 2025 failures, as the record does not specify the exact mechanical faults. Given the age of the Dodge Nitro, a close examination of the structural integrity is required, particularly around the chassis and subframe where corrosion is common on this model. The inspector should also evaluate the suspension bushes for wear and check brake calipers for binding, as the low-mileage pattern can lead to rubber degradation and seized components rather than mechanical wear and tear.
