2016 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · CU16 CMK

The Dacia Duster presents a stable and unremarkable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 72,608 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no recurring advisories across the available history. Annual mileage has averaged close to 7,260 miles, consistent with typical use for a 2016 vehicle. The records show steady yearly increments: 51,073 miles in October 2021, 56,540 in October 2022, 61,291 in October 2023, 67,005 in October 2024, and 72,608 in October 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The DVSA data is sparse in detail, with every entry listing a pass and no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The absence of advisories means the tester logged no visible wear on coil springs, brake discs, or structural integrity at each appointment, but MOT snapshots miss intermittent faults. Given the car is now nearly ten years old, check for early subframe corrosion and degraded rubber mountings that a pass does not require the tester to flag. The previous owner clearly kept the vehicle to a basic annual test standard with no deferred items. Low mechanical intervention suggests light commuting rather than rough duty. Verify service history separately, as the MOT alone confirms roadworthiness on test day, not ongoing lubrication or cambelt intervals.
