2008 Dodge (usa) Caliber SXT Sport A 2.0L Petrol · GF08 FVJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its consistent history of passing results. The most recent test on 20 January 2024 at 95,905 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a technical failure just two days prior at 95,892 miles. Because the failure recorded no specific defects, it likely represented an administrative error or a minor non-safety retest requirement that was rectified immediately, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining legal compliance. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. The data shows steady usage over several years, moving from 76,801 miles in June 2020 to 95,905 miles in early 2024. There is a significant gap in the record between the September 2022 and January 2024 tests, which suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of rubber degradation and fluid breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as the MOT record does not flag any recurring rust or mechanical failures. Given the age and low usage, inspect the underbody sills, wheel arches, and suspension bushes which may have perished due to age rather than distance. Check the braking system for seized calipers or corroded discs, as low-mileage vehicles that sit idle often suffer from surface corrosion on the braking hardware.
