2016 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · DC65 XJB

The Dacia Duster presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 23 December 2025 at 84,010 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no recurring advisories or failures beyond a duplicate test entry on the same date. The December 2025 failure at 84,008 miles carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault before the immediate pass. Annual mileage sits at a typical 8,401 per year for a 2016 vehicle now at 84,010 miles. The records show clean passes on 13 December 2022 at 52,190 miles, 2 January 2024 at 62,501 miles, and 3 January 2025 at 73,452 miles, giving a steady ~10,000-mile yearly spread. A gap exists between the 2022 and 2024 entries with no 2023 test logged, but the mileage progression suggests consistent use rather than long standing periods. The sparse, defect-free record implies the previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm component life remaining. Check underneath for corrosion on structural members and the exhaust system, since the tester logged nothing but the Duster's age makes rust progression likely unseen at test. Verify the 23 December 2025 duplicate failure reason via DVSA to rule out any suppressed defect code before purchase.
