2017 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · DP17 OTJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 61,911 miles passed, it returned with advisories for both front tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This recurring issue suggests that the owner allows consumables to reach failure before replacement, rather than addressing them at the first sign of wear or alignment issues. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between January 2024 at 42,673 miles and January 2025 at 51,266 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 9,000 miles in a single year. The subsequent interval saw 10,645 miles covered, indicating more recent usage. The low overall mileage generally limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but the age of the vehicle increases degradation of rubber components. A buyer must inspect the suspension and steering closely, as the history shows a specific structural-related failure of a fractured offside rear coil spring in December 2022. Although this was rectified, the repeated advisories for uneven front tyre wear across 2022 and 2025 point to a persistent wheel alignment problem or worn suspension bushes. The buyer should also check the offside rear tyre for the previously perishing and cracking noted in January 2025, as low-mileage cars often suffer from dry rot despite having sufficient tread.
