2010 Dodge Journey 2.0L Diesel · FL10 APU

The 2010 Dodge Journey presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT test on 2024-12-11, which passed at 134,889 miles with no defects recorded. However, the preceding test on 2024-11-29 resulted in a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting potential administrative or procedural inconsistencies. The 2022 and 2021 tests similarly showed no defects, indicating a consistent absence of critical issues over the past four years. While the vehicle has not exhibited recurring mechanical faults, the lack of detailed defect reports limits definitive conclusions about its underlying condition. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,431 miles annually. The recorded distances between tests show minimal variation, with a 11-mile increase between the 2024-11-29 failure and 2024-12-11 pass, and a 260-mile jump between the 2022-12-01 failure and 2022-12-13 pass. These small increments suggest regular, controlled usage rather than abrupt wear. The absence of significant mileage spikes or prolonged gaps implies consistent operation, though it does not confirm proactive maintenance beyond MOT compliance. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade over 16 years of service. Brake discs and calipers warrant scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear, particularly if the vehicle has been exposed to harsh environments. The exhaust system and underbody should also be checked for rust, common in older models. While the MOT history lacks specific faults, the frequency of tests and absence of major defects suggest the vehicle has been maintained to a basic standard, but a physical inspection remains essential to verify structural and mechanical integrity.
