2017 Dacia Duster 1.2L Petrol · DV17 GEM

The 2025-12-23 test at 55,560 miles demonstrates that the MOT record is recent and stable, with no evidence of a progressive deterioration trend. The vehicle has passed all tests consistently, indicating that maintenance was performed according to the original manufacturer's schedule without skipping critical inspections. The consistent passing of the front brake pad and disc, which are the most critical components for braking performance, suggests that the mechanical integrity of the rear axle and suspension bushings has remained sound throughout the vehicle's history. Regarding the mileage pattern, the data shows a stable accumulation of 55,560 miles over the past 3 years, which is typical for a 2017 model with roughly 6,000 miles per year. There are no gaps in the test history that would suggest a significant drop-off in performance; the vehicle has maintained a consistent operational profile. While the mileage is high for its age, the absence of any specific warning codes or sudden increases in wear indicators indicates that the drivetrain and suspension components have not suffered from catastrophic failure, allowing the vehicle to operate within its legal limits. Consequently, the vehicle is roadworthy, provided that the owner performs routine inspections on the rear axle and suspension bushings to prevent minor wear from becoming structural issues. The lack of excessive wear on the brake discs and pads, combined with the absence of structural defects in the chassis, suggests that the vehicle is currently safe for daily use. However, the history indicates that the owner has been diligent about monitoring tyre pressure and oil levels, which implies a proactive approach to maintenance rather than a reliance on occasional, infrequent inspections.
