2019 Dacia Duster 1.3L Petrol · DP19 VSC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 23 June 2023 at 66,338 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that the previous owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoided immediate mechanical or structural failure at the time of the DVSA inspection. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. Between the June 2022 test at 44,508 miles and the June 2023 test at 66,338 miles, the car covered 21,830 miles. This indicates a period of higher usage which is generally preferable for vehicle seals and components as it prevents the corrosion and dry often associated with long periods of standing. While the records show no recurring faults, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components prone to wear at this mileage bracket. Given the over 66,000 miles, the front suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for signs of tearing or premature fatigue. The buyer should also examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the MOT test does not capture the exact state of consumables between inspections. The last recorded MOT is now nearly three years old, meaning the vehicle is significantly overdue for a formal test. A comprehensive inspection is required to verify that no structural corrosion has developed since the 2023 entry. Particular attention should be paid to the underside for rust on the chassis and any fluid leaks that would not have been apparent during the previous clean test.
