2019 Dacia Duster 1.3L Petrol · DP69 MRV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend across its history. The most recent test on 20 November 2025 at 32,199 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite a failure just two days prior at the same mileage. This specific sequence suggests a minor, easily rectified issue that was addressed immediately before the passing test, rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect or structural decline. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 14,797 miles and November 2024 at 27,309 miles, the car covered 12,512 miles. The subsequent interval of 4,890 miles leading to the 2025 test indicates steady usage patterns. This low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber components if the vehicle sits too stationary. Because the MOT record shows no recurring structural corrosion or persistent mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on the specific risks associated with low-mileage vehicles. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perish, which can occur over time regardless of distance travelled. Check the brake discs for pitting or surface rust, as infrequent use often leads to seized calipers or uneven wear. Verify the condition of the tyres to ensure the rubber has not hardened with age despite sufficient tread depth.
