2016 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · CY16 FGG

The 2016 Dacia Duster presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 5 August 2025 at 75,777 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. Across four consecutive annual examinations the vehicle has avoided any failure or advisory, indicating consistent mechanical condition rather than a worsening fault pattern. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 51,091 miles at the 23 May 2022 test, rising to 61,330 by 1 June 2023, 70,189 by 13 August 2024, and 75,777 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 7,500 to 9,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps, and the clean sheet across all dates suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current without deferred consumable replacement appearing in the official data. Given the absence of flagged items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or binding brakes, a buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of common Duster weak points not always caught in a pass. Check front coil springs and track-rod ends for fatigue, examine subframe and sills for underseal breakdown or rust, and measure brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth independently. The MOT history alone gives no evidence of recurring defects or serious risk, but a clean record is not a substitute for a hands-on check of drivetrain mounts and exhaust hangers at this mileage. Treat the vehicle as mechanically sound on paper, with verification of wear items recommended before purchase.
