2016 Dodge (usa) Unknown 5.7L Petrol · EX16 NHA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift from clean records to developing mechanical wear. After three years of clean passes between 2022 and 2025, the most recent test in May 2026 at 118,241 miles introduced multiple advisories across different systems. This indicates that the vehicle has reached a stage where components are nearing the end of their service life requiring proactive attention. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,800 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 97,800 miles and May 2026 at 118,241 miles, the car covered over 20,000 miles, representing a steady rate of use. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been left to sit for long periods, which generally benefits the health of seals and gaskets, though the high cumulative mileage explains the sudden appearance of wear-related defects in the latest inspection. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front-end suspension and braking system. The tester flagged play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and the ball joints on both nearside and offside front lower suspension arms. These issues will eventually lead to steering instability and audible knocking noises if not replaced. Additionally, the thin brake pads on both the front and nearside rear axles indicate that a brake service is overdue. You should verify the condition of the brake discs for uneven scoring or deep pitting to prevent further damage to the new hardware.
