2014 DACIA DUSTER1.6L Petrol

The Dacia Duster presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 25 July 2025 at 72,975 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and clean across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The repeated failed entries logged on the same test date in July 2025 and July 2024 show no defects recorded against them, indicating administrative rejections rather than mechanical failures. Recorded mileage rose from 68,489 at the 31 July 2024 test to 72,975 by 25 July 2025, a 4,486-mile gain over twelve months. Against the vehicle's twelve-year life and 72,975 total miles, this equates to a modest average of roughly 6,081 miles per year. The low annual use suggests light motoring, though the sparse record leaves two test windows documented and gives no visibility of condition between 2014 and 2024. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the standing periods implied by low mileage. Damp storage or infrequent use can accelerate corrosion on structural members and brake components even when the tester records no advisories. The absence of flagged faults in the DVLA data does not exempt the vehicle from wear on consumables such as tyres and wiper blades. The clean MOT trail implies the previous owner kept the Duster to a basic legal standard with no neglected failures. Verify in person that underside protection remains sound and that the binding calipers or exhaust emissions have not deteriorated since the last test. Given the 2025 pass is under twelve months old, the roadworthiness position is current as of today's date.
