DACIA DUSTER2017 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a string of clean passes over the last three years. Although the most recent test on March 3 2026 at 83,144 miles initially recorded a failure, the immediate pass on the same day without recorded defects suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial fault that was rectified instantly. Since the 2023 test, the Duster has maintained a consistent standard without recurring mechanical advisories. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 63,831 miles and June 2024 at 70,952 miles, the car covered 7,121 miles, indicating a steady usage pattern. The subsequent interval of 7,573 miles leading to the July 2025 test shows a slight increase but remains within typical operating parameters, which generally helps prevent the issues associated with long periods of stationary components like brake seizing. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the digital history, a physical inspection should focus on common wear-and-tear points for a Duster of this age. The buyer should examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these often degrade around the 80,000-mile mark. Checking the brake discs for thinning or pitting and the underbody for surface corrosion is also prudent, as the MOT record does not always flag early-stage rust until it becomes a structural concern.
