2016 DACIA DUSTER1.5L Diesel

The 2016 Dacia Duster presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-05-29 at 48,385 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance and absence of critical mechanical faults. The vehicle’s mechanical systems appear to have remained functional without emerging concerns, suggesting the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep. However, the lack of recorded advisories or minor defects limits insight into potential wear patterns. The mileage of 48,385 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 4,838 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age group. This low usage could reflect infrequent driving or periods of inactivity, which might affect components like the battery, fluids, or rubber seals. The MOT intervals align with standard annual testing, and no gaps exceeding 12 months are evident. The consistent mileage progression from 33,753 miles in 2021 to 48,385 miles in 2025 suggests steady, controlled usage without sudden spikes that might indicate heavy reliance or neglect. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which may degrade without regular stress. The absence of brake-related issues in MOT records is reassuring, but visual inspection of brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear is advised. Structural integrity cannot be confirmed from the data alone, so checking for rust in the underbody or chassis is recommended. The vehicle’s low mileage and clean MOT history indicate a well-maintained example, but physical examination of non-MOT-covered systems remains essential.
