DACIA DUSTER2018 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a minor administrative setback. The most recent MOT test on 07 May 2025 at 55,248 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite a failure just nine days prior on 28 April 2025 at 54,939 miles. This rapid turnaround suggests the failure was likely a simple rectify, such as a blown bulb or a minor adjustment, which was corrected immediately before the subsequent test. The mileage pattern remains consistent with low-average annual usage, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year over eight years. Between April 2022 at 31,078 miles and April 2024 at 44,096 miles, the vehicle covered 13,018 miles, while the latest interval saw 11,152 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady accumulation indicates minimal wear on heavy components like the engine, suspension bushings, and drivetrain assemblies compared to high-mileage counterparts. Since the MOT history shows no recurring advisories regarding structural corrosion or mechanical wear, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than mileage-based fatigue. Check for cracking in rubber components and suspension mounts, which can occur over time regardless of low mileage. Additionally, inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or thinning, as low-mileage vehicles sometimes suffer from surface rust if left stationary for long periods.
