2017 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · CX66 AUE

The 2017 Dacia Duster presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent March 2026 examination at 40,705 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also showed passes with no issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well cared for, with no evidence of recurring faults in critical systems like brakes, suspension, or emissions. The mileage of 40,705 miles over nine years equates to approximately 4,523 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age group. The MOT records show gradual mileage progression, with intervals of roughly 5,000–6,000 miles between tests, reflecting regular but low-intensity use. Notably, the 2022 test at 20,904 miles and the 2023 test at 23,477 miles reveal a slower accumulation, which may indicate periods of inactivity or minimal driving. This pattern reduces wear on consumables but could also suggest potential issues with components not regularly exercised, such as suspension bushes or brake calipers. While the MOT history shows no direct faults, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of dry rot in rubber components, corrosion in underbody areas, and brake system functionality. The low mileage may mask wear in parts like coil springs or steering linkages, which could benefit from a detailed mechanical check. Additionally, the absence of recorded tyre tread issues or exhaust emissions failures implies no urgent concerns, but a pre-purchase inspection should still verify the condition of brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust system integrity to confirm the MOT records align with the vehicle’s current state.
