2013 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · YS63 AEZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 26 August 2025 at 85,632 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests the car is currently in a mechanically sound state according to DVSA standards. The mileage pattern shows a significant and sudden increase in usage during the last two years. Between October 2022 and August 2023, the odometer moved only 3,101 miles. However, between August 2023 and August 2024, the vehicle covered 25,311 miles. A further 17,730 miles were added by August 2025. This shift from light use to high annual mileage increases the rate of wear on drivetrain components and consumables. The MOT history is unusually clean for a 13 year old vehicle, showing no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion across multiple tests. A failure on 12 August 2024 at 67,354 miles was resolved within fifteen days, though the specific defect was not detailed in the provided record. The absence of recurring faults suggests a consistent maintenance regime or a vehicle that has avoided typical age-related degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis and underbody for surface rust, as the lack of MOT advisories does not guarantee the absence of corrosion on a vehicle of this vintage. Given the recent surge in mileage, checking the condition of the tyres and brake pads is advisable to ensure they have not been worn down rapidly since the August 2025 test.
