2018 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · DA68 BZE

The 2018 Dacia Duster presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 19 May 2025 at 92,964 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to that, the vehicle passed without fault on 30 May 2024 at 88,194 miles and again on 13 October 2023 at 76,080 miles. The only blemish is a failed test on 29 May 2024 at 88,190 miles, which the record shows with no defects logged; the owner corrected whatever administrative or presentation issue caused the rejection and passed the very next day. No advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear across the five-year span. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,620 miles, typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show a gap of nearly eleven months between the December 2022 test at 58,365 miles and the October 2023 test at 76,080 miles, adding 17,715 miles in that window. From October 2023 to May 2024 the car covered 12,114 miles in seven months, then only 4,770 miles in the following twelve months to May 2025. The sparse, defect-free history gives little evidence of neglected consumables, though the single unexplained failure suggests a lapse in preparation rather than mechanical neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the Duster's age and light-alloy subframe design. The clean MOT trail means no recurring brake binding, coil spring fracture, or worn tyres were flagged, but test stations vary in advisory strictness. Verify the condition of suspension arms and track rod ends through a road test, and confirm the 2024 failure cause with the prior keeper's paperwork. Given the consistent pass record and ordinary mileage, the vehicle shows no worsening mechanical trend. The next owner should budget for normal wear items but can treat the documented history as evidence of adequate, if not meticulous, upkeep.
