2008 Dodge (usa) Nitro SXT CRD A 2.8L Diesel · RV58 ABX

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 27 February 2026 at 96,007 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,334 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained relatively steady, with 6,671 miles added between December 2022 and December 2023, and 4,605 miles added between November 2024 and February 2026. This low usage suggests the vehicle has not been subject to heavy motorway wear, though it can sometimes indicate periods of standing which may affect rubber components. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and origin. There are no recorded failures for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs across the last four years. A failure on 12 December 2023 was resolved within ten days, though the record does not specify the exact defect. The absence of any advisories regarding corrosion or structural integrity is positive, as American imports of this era often suffer from chassis rust in UK climates. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that the MOT test may overlook or that degrade during low-mileage use. Check for perishing rubber seals, tyre age regardless of tread depth, and the condition of the brake calipers to ensure they have not seized from inactivity. Given the lack of recorded faults, a manual check of the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals is necessary to confirm the mechanical health of the CRD engine.
