2019 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · DN19 VAY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 57,084 miles. While it initially failed on that same day due to a nearside headlamp aim being too high, the immediate rectification resulted in a clean pass certificate with no recorded defects. The history suggests the vehicle is being maintained, with no recurring mechanical or structural failures appearing over the last three years. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage, averaging approximately 8,155 miles per year. There was a significant jump of 17,133 miles between the February 2023 test at 11,665 miles and the February 2024 test at 28,798 miles, followed by another 28,286 miles leading to the 2025-26 testing period. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps keep engine seals and braking systems lubricated. A buyer should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, as the 2024 test flagged all four tyres for cracking or perishing. Although these may have been replaced since then, the age of the vehicle suggests the rubber components could be degrading despite the relatively low mileage. Additionally, the tester noted that under trays and sill covers in 2024 and 2025 obstructed the view of testable components. A physical inspection of the underbody is necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion or damage has developed beneath these covers where the MOT tester cannot fully see.
