DACIA DUSTER2016 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent testing history. The most recent MOT conducted on 21 May 2025 at 67,277 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just one mile prior. This suggests that while there may have been a minor or administrative-related issue that required immediate rectification, the overall mechanical and structural integrity has met the necessary safety standards over the last two years. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between the May 2023 test at 51,569 miles and the May 2024 test at 57,694 miles, the vehicle covered 6,125 miles, with another 9,583 miles recorded in the following year up to 2025. This steady accumulation of mileage indicates regular use, which often prevents the degradation of components like brake seals and suspension bushings compared to long-term stationary vehicles. While the record shows a clean sheet of passes, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension components and brake system. Given the age of the Duster, checking for perished rubber bushes or worn lateral control arm joints is advisable, as these are common points of wear regardless of mileage. The buyer should also inspect the underside for early signs of structural corrosion on the exhaust and mounting points, as the MOT does not always surface surface rust until it becomes a failure point.
