Dodge Avenger (2007)
2007 Dodge Avenger
CarHunch analysed 104 real MOT records for the 2007 Dodge Avenger. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Dodge Avenger passes its MOT first time in 73.4% of cases, notably below the UK average of 80%, and nearly 28% of these vehicles have recorded at least one dangerous defect during their MOT history — a significant concern for a buyer. This is a reliability weak spot among older American imports.
At 77,176 miles on average, these Avengers have typical mileage for their age, but the real issue is the sheer number of problems: owners face an average of 3.95 failures and 24.4 advisories per test, suggesting chronic electrical, emissions, or suspension issues rather than one-off repairs. If you're considering one, budget for ongoing maintenance and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on brake systems and emissions equipment.
What to check before buying a 2007 Dodge Avenger
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- ⚠️ 27.9% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
