2015 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · A11 GAR

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2025‑12‑09 at 25,844 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend shows improvement: a failure on 2024‑12‑02 at 23,939 miles flagged excessive play in the nearside track‑rod end, fractured front coil springs on both sides and slight play in the offside lower suspension arm. The same day a retest was recorded as passed, confirming that the identified suspension issues were rectified. Since that retest the car has remained defect‑free, suggesting the repairs were effective and no new problems have emerged. Mileage accumulation has been steady and low for an eleven‑year‑old model. Records show incremental increases each year—e.g., from 22,083 miles in December 2023 to 23,939 miles in December 2024 and finally to 25,844 miles in December 2025—averaging roughly 2,350 miles per annum. The annual MOT intervals provide a consistent data set with no abrupt mileage spikes, reflecting modest usage or periods of storage rather than heavy duty operation. A buyer should inspect the suspension system closely. Verify that the fractured coil springs have been replaced and that the ball joints in the track rod, lower suspension arm and steering rack exhibit no excessive play. Examine the coil spring seats and surrounding bushes for corrosion or wear. Check the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, even though none were recorded, and assess tyre tread depth and wear patterns for uniformity. Finally, look for structural rust around wheel arches and the underbody, as age can introduce corrosion independent of mileage.
