2022 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · CU22 OZF

The 2022 Dacia Duster presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 9 April 2026 at 45,160 miles. The tester flagged zero defects during this most recent assessment, mirroring the identical outcome of the prior test on 16 April 2025 at 41,420 miles. This consecutive clean bill of health indicates a vehicle that has remained structurally sound and mechanically compliant with roadworthiness standards without requiring any remedial work between annual inspections. The recorded mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical domestic usage. Between the 2025 and 2026 tests, the Duster covered 3,740 miles over a twelve-month period, which extrapolates to an annual average of roughly 11,000 miles per year since its inception. This consistent, moderate pace of wear suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than left standing for extended periods, which bodes well for the longevity of its consumable components and drivetrain. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection remains prudent, focusing on areas common to the Duster's platform. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for premature deterioration, as these components can degrade silently between annual tests. Examine the brake discs and calipers for any early signs of corrosion or binding, and inspect the structural integrity of the underbody and wheel arches for surface corrosion, ensuring the chassis remains free from excessive rust that could compromise long-term durability.
