2014 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · YP64 AEG

The 2014 Dacia Duster passed its most recent MOT test on 2025-12-17 with 119,836 miles, but the vehicle's maintenance trend is concerning. The recent test highlighted a worn nearside front tyre, which was close to the legal limit, and a history of recurring issues with tyre tread depth and brake wear. This suggests that the maintenance trend is worsening, particularly with regard to consumable wear items. The recorded mileage of 119,836 miles, accumulated over roughly 12 years, is about 9,986 miles per year, which is typical for its age. However, there is a notable gap in the MOT record between 2017 and 2020, with the vehicle being MOT'd in January 2019 and January 2020. This gap in testing raises concerns about the vehicle's maintenance history during this period. Furthermore, the rapid mileage accumulation between 2020 and 2025, with 61,378 miles added in just five years, may indicate that the vehicle has been subject to heavier use or neglect during this time. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person, paying particular attention to the suspension and steering components, given the excessive wear on the nearside front suspension arm ball joint in 2023. The history of brake wear, including thin front brake pads in 2021 and potentially binding rear brakes in 2023, suggests that the braking system should be thoroughly inspected. Additionally, the vehicle's exhaust emissions exceeded the default limit in 2022, and the nearside front tyre tread depth was below requirements, indicating potential issues with the vehicle's structural integrity and mechanical components.
