2019 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · 1 HJG

A consistent track record of clean MOT certificates defines this vehicle, with the most recent pass on 02 December 2025 showing no recorded defects. This pattern of passing consecutive tests without any recorded failures or advisories across the last five years indicates a stable history of roadworthiness according to official DVSA records. The absence of noted issues with braking systems, lighting, steering, or structural integrity throughout the testing period suggests that the components subject to mandatory inspection have met the required standards without recurring faults. The recorded mileage of 51,758 miles against a 2019 registration reflects a usage pattern of approximately 7,394 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK average annual mileage for a vehicle of this age. This moderate accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subject to extreme high-mileage motorway use, nor has it been subjected to the mechanical risks associated with very long periods of stationary use. From a mechanical standpoint, this level of usage typically implies a predictable wear rate for consumable items such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes, though the specific condition of these parts remains subject to physical inspection. Given the lack of recorded advisories for components like suspension linkages, exhaust systems, or brake pipes, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the current state of these wear items. During a test drive, pay close attention to the steering response and listen for any knocks or knocks from the suspension when driving over uneven surfaces, which could indicate wear in the bushes or coil springs not yet flagged in a test. Additionally, check for any pulling to one side under braking or any pedal judder, which would indicate uneven wear on the brake discs. While the MOT history is clear of recorded oil leaks or emissions failures, it is prudent to inspect the engine bay for any signs of weeping from gaskets or seals. Check the underside of the vehicle for any evidence of fluid leaks or early-stage corrosion on the subframe and exhaust, as these are areas that can develop between annual inspection intervals. Ensuring the vehicle responds smoothly to throttle inputs and maintains a steady idle will complement the clean regulatory history provided by the DVSA records.
