2014 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · DL64 ACX

The 2014 Dacia Duster demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2024-01-29 at 87,289 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance since 2020, with all tests from 2020 to 2024 passing without issues. The 2021-11-05 failure at 74,482 miles is notable but unexplained, as no defects were logged, suggesting either a minor oversight or a resolution before the subsequent 2021-11-08 pass. Overall, the maintenance history reflects routine adherence to safety standards. Mileage progression aligns with an average annual usage of 7,274 miles, indicating moderate wear. The 2020-11-12 test at 70,805 miles to 2022-11-07 at 81,533 miles shows a 10,728-mile increase over two years, followed by a 5,756-mile rise to 87,289 miles by 2024. This pattern suggests steady, predictable usage without abrupt spikes. However, the 2021-11-05 failure coinciding with the same mileage as the 2021-11-08 pass raises questions about potential unresolved issues, though no defects were documented. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly given the 2021 failure, and inspect brake systems for wear, as these are common areas for gradual degradation. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in recorded tests is reassuring, but a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the integrity of exhaust emissions systems and ensure no hidden faults were overlooked. The vehicle’s MOT history lacks specific mechanical warnings, but its age and mileage warrant careful scrutiny of high-mileage components.
