2016 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · EX66 AEJ

The Dacia Duster presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 3 June 2025 at 70,928 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to that, the April 2024 tests showed a clean pass at 67,759 miles on 24 April, following a failed attempt on 11 April 2024 at 67,746 miles where the tester logged no defects. This anomaly suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault, and the immediate re-test pass confirms the vehicle was not carrying outstanding advisories or failures into service. The recorded mileage of 70,928 against a 2016 build equates to roughly 7,093 miles per year, a typical usage rate for this age of vehicle. The history shows steady accumulation: 58,286 miles in February 2022, 64,184 in March 2023, and 67,746 to 67,759 across April 2024. The jump to 70,928 by June 2025 reflects about 3,200 miles in fourteen months, indicating lighter recent use. The sparse record with no advisories across five years implies the previous keeper maintained basic test compliance, though absence of flagged wear items does not confirm proactive component renewal. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's ten-year age and the limited diagnostic detail in the MOT entries. The clean sheets provide no evidence of corrosion or structural concerns, but standing periods implied by low annual mileage can accelerate underbody deterioration and flat-spot tyres. Verify the April 2024 failure paperwork to rule out any unresolved test-centre discrepancy before purchase.
