2019 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · CT68 OOB

The Dacia Duster presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 March 2026 at 42,222 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of examinations. Prior to that, the 7 March 2025 test at 39,654 miles also passed with no advisories, confirming the vehicle has stayed mechanically sound across its later life. Mileage accumulation is modest for a 2019 registered vehicle. The record shows 33,490 miles in March 2023, 36,525 miles in March 2024, and 39,601 miles at the failed February 2025 attempt, reaching 42,222 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 6,000 miles per year, indicating light use with no sudden accumulation spikes. The single failure on 27 February 2025 at 39,601 miles listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded test anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, with the car passing twelve days later. No advisories or defects appear across the five-year MOT span, so the history reveals no recurring wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. The absence of flagged items implies previous owners kept basic consumable upkeep current and avoided neglect of emissions or chassis integrity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody condition, brake caliper operation, and tyre sidewall age given the low annual mileage may mask prolonged standing. The clean record offers reassurance, but DVSA tests do not assess hidden rust or intermittent binding, so a ramp check remains prudent before purchase.
