Mechanical Assessment
The 2018 Dacia Duster presents a clean roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 April 2025 at 40,195 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of passes since the first available entry. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at any MOT stage. Annual mileage has remained consistently low against the vehicle's eight-year age. The April 2021 test at 16,776 miles and the April 2025 test at 40,195 miles show a steady accumulation of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles per year, with no gaps or sudden jumps in use. Such light annual coverage, paired with five consecutive clear tests, suggests the car spent much of its life on short, gentle journeys rather than high-load motorway or commercial duty. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low mileage and likely periods of standing. Dormant vehicles often develop corrosion on structural members and seizing in calipers that a pass with no defects will not capture if within tolerance at test time. The exhaust emissions and underbody should be checked for surface rust where road salt exposure occurred. The absence of recurring advisories means no worsening pattern exists in the official data. Previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current, though the sparse defect history offers little insight into consumable replacement habits such as tyres or wiper blades between tests.
