2006 Dodge (usa) Unknown 5.7L Petrol · KO55 DWN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive repairs after years of stability. While the most recent test in November 2024 at 106,004 miles passed, it followed a failure just two days prior due to an exhaust lambda reading issue and a supplementary restraint system warning lamp. The transition from a clean record in 2022 to a list of multiple mechanical advisories suggests that components are only being addressed when they approach failure rather than through a preventative service schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage between 2021 and 2024, where the vehicle covered roughly 12,000 miles over three years. However, the gap of only 2,500 miles between October 2023 and November 2024 indicates a recent period of very infrequent use. This low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the perishing offside front tyre flagged in the latest MOT. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the braking system and suspension during a physical evaluation. The 2024 record flagged all four brake pads as thin and both discs as worn, indicating a full brake overhaul is likely due. Additionally, the oil misting on the offside front shock absorber noted in 2023 should be checked for active leaks that could indicate imminent component failure. The previous failure regarding the SRS warning lamp also requires verification to ensure the airbag system is fully functional, as age-related electronic faults are common in vehicles of this era.
