2021 Dacia Duster 1.3L Petrol · DE71 ALU

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, having successfully passed its most recent MOT on 14 February 2026 at 31,013 miles with zero defects recorded. While the history shows consecutive failed attempts on the same dates as the passes in both 2025 and 2026, these instances appear to be administrative anomalies or immediate rectifications rather than indicative of underlying mechanical failure. The absence of any recorded advisories throughout the vehicle's history suggests a well-maintained example that has not suffered from chronic neglect or recurring component degradation. The recorded mileage of 31,013 miles over five years aligns with standard usage patterns for this class of vehicle. The steady accumulation of approximately 6,200 miles per annum indicates consistent, light-duty operation rather than periods of prolonged inactivity or excessive high-speed motorway stress. There are no significant gaps in the test history, which provides confidence that the vehicle has been subjected to regular annual scrutiny and has not been laid up for extended durations that might otherwise lead to issues such as seized calipers or fuel system degradation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the exhaust system, as these components are typical wear points for Dacia models of this age. Although the MOT record is clean, check the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur if the vehicle has been parked for short intervals between regular use. Verify that the parking brake holds firmly on an incline and inspect the underside for any early signs of surface oxidation on the chassis rails, as this is the primary area where structural concerns typically manifest on this platform.
