2021 Dacia Duster 1.0L Petrol · A28 TDP

This Dacia Duster presents a consistent record of roadworthiness with four consecutive MOT passes and a total absence of recorded defects or advisories. This trend of stability is confirmed by the latest clean pass on 31 March 2026, indicating that the vehicle has met the minimum legal safety and emissions standards without requiring corrective work at each annual inspection since its first test in 2023. The recorded mileage of 59,529 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 11,906 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. This level of usage suggests a regular operational cycle rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or extreme high-mileage stress. Mechanically, this mileage indicates that while the vehicle is not low-use, it has not yet reached the threshold where major drivetrain fatigue or heavy wear on structural components is typically expected, though standard wear on consumables remains a factor. Given the absence of historical advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake pipes, or corrosion, there are no specific recurring mechanical failures to monitor. However, a test drive should still focus on the current condition of the chassis and drivetrain to ensure no new issues have developed since the March 2026 inspection. Listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension over uneven surfaces and feel for any steering pull or vibration through the wheel that could indicate developing wear in the steering rack or wheel bearings. Attention should be paid to the current depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake discs and pads, as these consumables may be nearing their wear limits without yet triggering an MOT failure. Check for any signs of oil misting around the engine bay or fluid leaks on the driveway, as these are not always captured in a standard MOT test unless they constitute an immediate hazard. Verifying the operation of all electrical components and the smoothness of the gear transitions will complete the physical assessment of the vehicle's current roadworthiness.
