2023 DODGE DURANGO PURSUIT AWD VIN 1C4RDJFG0PC574001

This Dodge Durango Pursuit AWD was built in 2023. The car runs on petrol. The gearbox is automatic, with all-wheel drive. The specification is taken from the source data.

The source data puts the mileage at 108,220 miles. Miles and kilometres are easy to confuse, and a distance in miles looks lower than the same distance in kilometres. The mileage is high for the car’s age, so the suspension, brakes, seats and steering wheel deserve a close look. A later figure lower than an earlier one points to a replaced instrument cluster or an odometer that has been wound back. A service book or a folder of workshop invoices is the simplest place to find past readings.

No damage type appears in the source data; that shows what was entered, not what the car has been through. Water marks under the carpets, rust in unusual places or a panel in a slightly different shade would point to damage nobody ever entered.

A key was noted with the car. Condition notes are a snapshot: the car may have been worked on, stripped of parts or left standing since.

The car carries a transfer document in place of a title. Without a title certificate, registering the car can take extra paperwork and checks.

Registrations, changes of owner, inspection results and accident claims together make up what is called a car’s history. The paperwork is kept by different bodies – registries, workshops, insurance companies and lenders – so the history of one car is spread across many places. A clean, polished car can still hide a serious accident, a flood or years of hard use.

An engine that has had its oil changed on time is far less likely to cause trouble later, and workshop invoices are the proof. On a petrol engine, spark plugs, ignition coils and the cooling system are the routine items a service history should cover. Automatic transmissions, CVTs included, are expensive to repair, so the test drive should include pulling away from a standstill and a stretch at motorway speed. A car with all-wheel drive has extra differentials and often a transfer case, which an inspection should cover alongside the engine and gearbox.

The VIN is a 17-character code assigned at the factory: it identifies the manufacturer, the model and its variant, and ends with a serial number unique to the car. The VIN of this Dodge Durango Pursuit AWD is 1C4RDJFG0PC574001. The number in the car’s documents should match the one stamped into the body and the one on the plate at the base of the windscreen.

Depending on what is on file, a VIN report may include past registrations, mileage readings, damage entries, branded titles and theft checks. No report is complete: a repair done privately and never claimed on insurance leaves nothing to find. However complete the paperwork, only an inspection shows the condition of the body, suspension, brakes and electrics today.
