2018 Dacia Duster 1.2L Petrol · BC18 AFC

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently stable maintenance record. The most recent MOT test conducted on 3 June 2025 at 13,108 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean technical sheet across the last four annual tests indicates that the vehicle has been maintained to a good standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,638 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the car covered only 4,969 miles, with a significant gap of just 381 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. Such low usage suggests the vehicle was likely used for short trips or remained stationary for long periods. While de-minimis mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it often introduces specific risks associated with vehicles that are not driven regularly at speed. Given the lack of recorded faults in the MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low mileage. Specifically check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently occurs when vehicles sit without use to clear the rotors. Inspect the rubber components in the suspension system and brake lines for cracking or dry rot, as material ages over time regardless of distance driven. Additionally, monitor for flat spots or uneven tyre wear, which are common side effects of low-usage patterns.
