2016 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · DC16 AAY

The 2016 Dacia Duster exhibits a stable roadworthiness record, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 showing passing results and no defects recorded. The most recent test on 2025-06-16 at 50,502 miles confirms the vehicle remains compliant. No recurring issues or advisories are documented, suggesting consistent maintenance and minimal mechanical degradation over its 10-year lifespan. The absence of faults across multiple annual inspections indicates the car has been well-maintained, with no evidence of escalating problems in critical systems. The mileage progression aligns with a low annual usage rate of approximately 5,050 miles, reflecting either light driving or periods of inactivity. Gaps between tests are regular, with each MOT occurring roughly 12 months apart, and mileage increments between 4,800 and 6,600 miles annually. Notably, the 2023 test at 38,698 miles showed a slight jump from 33,700 miles in 2022, but this remains within normal parameters. The clean MOT history suggests no significant wear on consumables or structural components, though the low mileage may necessitate closer inspection of systems prone to stagnation, such as the exhaust or fuel system. A physical inspection should focus on suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, to confirm no hidden wear despite the lack of recorded faults. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as low mileage can sometimes lead to moisture-related issues. The exhaust system merits scrutiny for internal rust, and the vehicle’s structural integrity should be verified to rule out undetected corrosion. While the MOT data indicates no immediate risks, these areas warrant attention to ensure long-term reliability.
