2022 DODGE DURANGO PURSUIT AWD VIN 1C4RDJFG4NC132576

This Dodge Durango Pursuit AWD is a 2022 model, finished in white. The gearbox is automatic, with all-wheel drive. The car runs on petrol. Every figure for this car is given as it appears in the source data.

The recorded mileage is 80,542 miles. The instruments count in miles; the same distance in kilometres is about 1.6 times the figure. High mileage alone does not rule a car out; what matters is whether regular servicing kept pace with it. Turning back an odometer takes little skill and leaves no visible trace, which is why earlier figures matter more than the display.

No primary damage is given in the record for this car, which is not the same as proof that it has never been damaged. 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.

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

A car’s history is the sum of what has happened to it since it was new, and most of it has left a trace on paper somewhere. Pieces of a car’s history sit with registries, dealers, workshops and insurance companies, and none of them sees the whole picture. A car’s past rarely shows on the paintwork: a well-repaired accident or water damage that was dried out is easy to miss.

An engine that has had its oil changed on time is far less likely to cause trouble later, and workshop invoices are the proof. Many modern petrol engines are turbocharged and direct-injected; where they are, the turbocharger and injectors belong on a specialist’s checklist. The automatic gearbox should respond smoothly and without delay; jerks, slipping or hesitation on a test drive need investigating.

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. This car’s identification number is 1C4RDJFG4NC132576. 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.

Where entries exist, a VIN check can show changes of owner, past mileage readings, reported damage and whether the car is listed as stolen. No report is complete: a repair done privately and never claimed on insurance leaves nothing to find. The past is on file; the car’s condition today is a job for a mechanic, who can check the structure, underbody, electrics and any repairs on a lift. A history check on VIN 1C4RDJFG4NC132576 is the place to start.
