2015 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · NL65 AEG

The 2015 Dacia Duster remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2025-09-15 at 70,497 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past three years, with consecutive passes in 2025, 2024, and 2023, despite a failed test on 2024-09-10 at 64,381 miles. The lack of recorded defects in recent tests suggests no critical mechanical or structural issues, though the 2024 failure without details raises a minor caution. The vehicle’s consistent annual testing and absence of recurring advisories indicate responsible upkeep. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,409 miles annually. The records show regular intervals between tests, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes. The 2023 test at 58,000 miles and 2022 test at 49,988 miles reveal gradual accumulation, avoiding abrupt increases that might signal neglect. The absence of tyre, suspension, or exhaust-related defects in recent years supports the conclusion that the car has been maintained to standard, though age-related wear remains inevitable. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for corrosion or uneven wear, as these often degrade over time. Structural integrity should be verified, though no rust or body corrosion was flagged in the MOT history. The lack of recorded issues does not eliminate risks, so a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is advised to confirm the absence of hidden faults.
