2012 Dodge RAM 3.7L Petrol · F16 RUB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement following previous maintenance. The most recent MOT test performed on 6 January 2026 at 126,393 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in earlier years have been addressed, and the vehicle currently meets the minimum standards for road use without immediate required repairs. The mileage data reveals a significant shift in usage patterns. Between February 2022 and January 2025, the vehicle covered 75,235 miles, averaging over 25,000 miles per year. However, the interval between January 2025 and January 2026 shows a recorded drop of 71,030 miles. This discrepancy suggests either a recording error or a drastic change in vehicle application. While the overall average of roughly 9,000 miles per year is typical for a fourteen-year-old truck, the high-intensity usage period likely placed heavy strain on the drivetrain and chassis components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension assembly. The February 2022 test flagged thin front brake pads and pitted brake discs, and while subsequent tests passed, a manual check of the current rotor thickness and pad life remains necessary to ensure longevity. Given the high-mileage period identified between tests, a thorough inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and structural integrity for corrosion is vital, as these are common points of failure on heavy vehicles subjected to high annual mileage.
