2009 Dodge (usa) Avenger SXT Diesel 2.0L Diesel · KR09 XNF

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health as of the most recent MOT on 25 November 2024 at 100,075 miles, where it passed with zero defects. That result is significant because it follows a failure just four days earlier on 21 November 2024 at 100,068 miles, where the tester flagged multiple front suspension defects, a failed offside front position lamp, and three tyres below the 1.6mm legal limit. The fact that all of those issues were rectified within days suggests the previous owner addressed the faults promptly rather than allowing them to persist. The overall maintenance trend is therefore improving at the point of sale, with the most recent test confirming the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards. The mileage pattern tells a story of very light use. At roughly 17 years old with 100,075 recorded miles, the annual average sits at approximately 5,887 miles per year, which is substantially below the UK average. The jump from the November 2023 test at 82,704 miles to the November 2024 test at 100,075 miles represents an increase of approximately 17,371 miles in a single year, a notable acceleration compared to the vehicle's earlier life. No MOT records are visible between November 2024 and today in June 2026, meaning the car has now gone roughly 19 months without a fresh test certificate. That is a gap worth noting, as the current roadworthiness status relies entirely on a test that is nearly a year and a half old. A buyer inspecting this Avenger in person should focus on the front suspension and steering components, which have been a recurring area of concern. The November 2024 failure identified excessively worn ball joints on both front corners and worn inner suspension arm pins or bushes on both sides, indicating the front end has been operating with degraded components. While these were clearly replaced or repaired ahead of the pass, a close visual inspection of the front suspension bushes, ball joints, and track rod ends is advisable to confirm the quality of that repair work. The sub-frame pin or bush wear noted as an advisory in November 2023 at 82,704 miles also warrants attention, as sub-frame corrosion or mounting deterioration can affect steering precision and structural integrity over time. The braking system has drawn advisories across multiple tests. The November 2023 failure recorded a nearside rear service brake excessively binding, and the November 2023 advisory noted worn and pitted front and rear brake discs. A test drive should therefore assess whether the vehicle pulls to one side under braking, whether the handbrake holds firmly on a gradient, and whether there is any judder through the pedal under moderate to heavy braking. Tyre condition has been flagged repeatedly, with tread below the legal limit recorded in November 2024 and advisories on tyre wear and perishing appearing in November 2023. Given the low annual mileage, uneven or edge wear may point to prolonged standing periods or misaligned tracking, both of which should be checked before purchase.
