2019 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · AJ19 HBO

The Dacia Duster presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 March 2026 at 26,613 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2023 to 2025 also closed as passes with no advisories. The single failure on 13 March 2025 at 22,784 miles listed no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 2019 registration. The odometer advanced from 15,771 miles at the 16 March 2023 test to 18,689 miles in March 2024, then 22,784 miles in March 2025, reaching 26,613 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 3,800 miles per year, well below typical averages. The DVSA history is sparse and clean across all five entries, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions issues ever flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low annual mileage paired with the 13 March 2025 failure-with-no-defects suggests the vehicle may have stood for extended periods, raising the risk of perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, or seized calipers not captured in a static test. Check the condition of brake hoses, suspension mounting points, and underbody structural integrity for latent corrosion. Verify the 2025 failure cause with the test station, as the nil-defect entry is irregular. Confirm service history matches the low mileage and inspect fluid condition, given limited use can degrade coolant and brake fluid over time without high-mileage wear masking it.
