2015 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · AF65 XRX

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test in September 2025 at 81,903 miles passed with no mechanical failures, only noting a minor advisory regarding a deteriorated registration plate. This represents an improvement from previous years where hardware defects were present, suggesting that the current owner is addressing identified wear and tear items as they become necessary. The mileage pattern is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,450 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 58,248 miles and the September 2025 test at 81,903 miles, the car covered 23,655 miles, indicating a slightly higher-than-average usage rate during that specific two-year interval. The overall steady usage suggests the vehicle is driven regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which helps prevent age-related issues like seized calipers or perished. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension based on historical data. The September 2022 test at 47,385 miles flagged front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored, while the 2021 test noted both front tyres reaching the legal limit. While these are consumable items, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the rotors to ensure they were replaced. Given the age of the Duster, a thorough check for underside corrosion and suspension bushing integrity is also advisable, though the MOT record has not flagged any structural failures to date.
