2016 Dacia Duster 1.2L Petrol · DF66 NUV

The April 2026 MOT at 40,423 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend, as the three consecutive tests since October 2023 have all been passed with zero recorded faults. The mileage pattern shows a low annual average of roughly 4,000 miles for a 2016 model, yet the record reveals irregular usage: a rise from 18,266 miles in October 2020 to 21,844 miles by October 2021 (3,578 miles), then to 26,647 miles in October 2022 (4,803 miles), followed by 31,421 miles in October 2023 (4,776 miles) and finally 40,423 miles in April 2026 (9,002 miles over 2.5 years). These gaps suggest periods of standing or reduced use rather than continuous high‑intensity driving, and the overall mileage accumulation remains modest. Recurring tyre defects (5.2.3 (d)(ii) and (e) items) across 2020‑2023 point to possible neglect of tyre maintenance or underlying suspension wear, while the 2022 failure for non‑working stop lamps (4.3.1 (a)(ii)) indicates electrical or brake‑light issues that merit inspection. The 2020 bulge in the offside front tyre (5.2.3 (d)(ii)) signals structural tyre failure that may reflect suspension or wheel alignment problems. A buyer should therefore examine tyre condition and tread depth, check suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, verify brake caliper operation and disc condition, and assess the structural integrity of wheel arches and chassis for corrosion or damage.
