2013 Dodge Challenger 5.7L Petrol · WM62 VFO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 20 May 2026 at 68,987 miles. The maintenance trend is stable but indicates a persistent issue with the rear suspension. A light misting of oil on both rear shock absorbers has appeared in nearly every test since July 2021. While this has not resulted in a failure, the recurring nature suggests the seals are beginning to degrade, though they have not yet reached the threshold of a functional damping failure. The mileage profile is remarkably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. Between December 2023 at 68,525 miles and May 2026 at 68,987 miles, the car covered only 462 miles in over two years. This suggests the vehicle sits for long periods or used infrequently. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals due to lack of movement and heat. A buyer should personally inspect the rear shock absorbers to determine if the oil misting has progressed into a significant leak. Since the advisory has been present for five years, the internal integrity of the dampers may be nearing its end. Given the low usage, an inspection should also check for dry rotting in the tyre sidewalls and perished suspension bushings, as these components often age faster than they wear from mileage when a car is rarely driven.
