2019 Dacia Duster 1.6L Petrol · AP68 VRX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive minor repairs. The most recent test on 11 December 2025 at 92,484 miles resulted in a failure due to an inoperative rear registration plate lamp. While this is a minor defect, it suggests a lack of pre-test inspections by the previous owner. The overall trend remains stable in terms of mechanical integrity, as no structural or braking failures have been recorded across the available history. The Duster has covered significant mileage for its age, averaging approximately 13,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the data between the March 2022 test at 22,072 miles and the December 2025 test at 92,484 miles, during which the vehicle covered over 70,000 miles. This rapid accumulation places considerable stress on consumable components, suspension bushings, and drivetrain parts, which are not always captured in an MOT record. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system to account for accelerated wear. Given the high mileage, the inspector should check for perished rubber bushes, worn control arms, and signs of thinning on the brake discs. The 2022 failure involving a faulty seat adjustment mechanism and a directional indicator indicates that minor electrical and mechanical components may be overlooked, so testing all lighting and interior controls is essential prior to purchase to ensure no hidden faults remain.
