2014 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · CU14 LPK

The Dacia Duster presents a contradictory roadworthiness picture from its most recent recorded tests. On 18 February 2022 at 472,414 miles the vehicle passed with no defects recorded, yet on the very same date and mileage it also failed with no defects listed. This duplicate entry shows an unstable administrative record rather than a clear mechanical trend, and no further MOT data exists beyond that point over four years ago. The recorded mileage of 472,414 at the February 2022 test equates to roughly 39,368 miles per year across the vehicle's twelve years, a severely high figure for a 2014 budget SUV. The entire history supplied contains only that single dated entry pair, so no gradual accumulation or gap pattern can be assessed. Such sparse data alongside extreme mileage leaves the intermediate wear state of drivetrain and chassis components entirely unverified. A buyer must treat the absence of advisories as meaningless given the test anomalies and the four-year lapse since testing. The high annual mileage implies heavy use of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers that the record does not confirm or deny. In-person inspection should prioritise structural integrity for corrosion, front and rear suspension wear, and binding calipers from prolonged high-speed use. Given the last recorded test predates today's date of 8 July 2026 by over four years, the vehicle is almost certainly no longer road legal without a fresh MOT. The duplicate pass and fail with zero defects suggests clerical error or abandoned retest, not proven maintenance. Any purchase hinges on a current test and a full mechanical appraisal of the heavily used running gear.
