How Dodge models compare on the MOT

The spread across Dodge models is wide — 85.3% for the Ram at the top and 66.4% for the Caliber at the bottom, a 18.9-point gap across 2,839 and 3,418 recorded tests respectively. Most Dodge models sit much closer to the middle (around 70.4%, on 2,023 tests for the Journey). The best and worst are both real DVSA results, not opinions: the pass rate is the share of every completed MOT test for that model that ended in a pass.

Every figure above is drawn from the DVSA's class-4 MOT records for the 2001–2020 data years: 14,005 tests across 6 Dodge models. A pass rate counts every completed test — first attempt and retests — so the figures above include a van or motorhome being tested twice in one year. The first-time pass figures on each model page are lower as a result. See the methodology page for exactly how each rate is calculated and how the DVSA source data is filtered.

Other Dodge models

Fewer than 2,000 tests each, so they are not ranked — every model still has its own pass-rate page.
