2018 Dacia Duster 1.6L Petrol · CV18 GPU

The Dacia Duster presents a current roadworthy status with a passed MOT recorded on 1 July 2025 at 99,447 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the most recent pass following an anomalous same-day failure on 1 July 2025 that listed no defects, mirroring an identical pattern on 17 June 2024 when a pass at 80,416 miles came after a defect-free failure on the same date. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories emerge from the three years of records. Mileage accumulation sits high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 12,431 miles per year against the 99,447 miles recorded. The odometer moved from 63,442 miles at the 22 June 2023 test to 80,416 miles by 17 June 2024, then to 99,447 miles by 1 July 2025, reflecting consistent annual use of around 16,000 to 19,000 miles in the latter intervals. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no advisories or reported wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes across any entry. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the Duster's age and elevated mileage, as the MOT record omits any advisory detail that might otherwise flag early rust. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass cycles with zero defects suggest administrative or tester error rather than owner neglect, yet the absence of recorded brake, exhaust emissions, or coil spring checks means physical verification of caliper operation and suspension condition remains prudent before purchase.
