2014 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · BJ14 RKK

The most recent MOT on 2025-04-22 at 76,167 miles passed with zero defects, indicating a currently sound mechanical state. The maintenance trend remains stable and highly consistent, with the vehicle passing cleanly across multiple years. The anomaly on 2023-04-17, where a failure at 67,196 miles immediately preceded a pass at 67,197 miles, suggests a minor fault was rectified on the same day. This demonstrates the previous owner addressed issues promptly rather than neglecting them. The 2014 Duster has covered 76,167 miles over roughly twelve years, averaging approximately 6,347 miles annually, which aligns perfectly with typical domestic use. The annual mileage accumulation remains remarkably steady, progressing from 61,212 miles in April 2022 to 71,301 miles in April 2024, and finally 76,167 miles in April 2025. This equates to a consistent yearly increase of around 5,000 to 10,000 miles, with no unexplained gaps or sudden surges in usage that might indicate prolonged standing or excessive wear. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The Duster is a robust off-roader, meaning buyers must inspect the chassis and subframes for structural corrosion, a common issue that MOT testers sometimes miss if surface rust is painted over. Suspension components, particularly the coil springs and trailing arm bushes, require close scrutiny for wear given the 76,167 miles on the clock. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these components endure significant stress on heavier SUV platforms. While the absence of advisories suggests diligent upkeep, verifying the condition of the exhaust system and tyre wear patterns will confirm whether the previous owner maintained the vehicle beyond the bare minimum required for the annual test.
