2019 Dacia Duster 1.6L Petrol · FB19 KLO

The 2019 Dacia Duster presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 31 July 2025 at 29,547 miles passing with zero defects recorded. Across all four annual tests dating back to 2022, the vehicle has consistently achieved a pass with no advisories or failures whatsoever. This is an unusually strong record for a seven-year-old vehicle and suggests attentive ownership with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by any tester over the entire documented history. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of light, steady use. The vehicle covered 8,828 miles between July 2022 and July 2023, then 6,678 miles through to July 2024, and 5,883 miles in the most recent twelve-month period leading to July 2025. That downward trend in annual mileage is notable and consistent with a vehicle that may have seen reduced use or longer periods of standing in recent years. At roughly 4,221 miles per year on average, this is well below the typical UK annual figure of around 7,500 to 8,000 miles for a vehicle of this age. The low mileage is a clear positive for wear on drivetrain and suspension components, but the tapering usage pattern warrants attention to items that deteriorate with age and time rather than purely with mileage. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas that MOT tests do not fully stress-test. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for perishing or corrosion, particularly given the possibility of prolonged stationary periods. Brake discs, calipers, and handbrake cables deserve close scrutiny, as infrequent use can lead to surface corrosion and binding that may not manifest during a standard roller-based MOT brake test. Tyre condition, including sidewall cracking from age-related deterioration, should be examined even if tread depth remains within limits. The exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for corrosion, especially around mounting points and box sections, as Dacia vehicles in this price bracket can be susceptible to surface rust in salted road conditions. The clean MOT history is genuinely encouraging, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains the sensible course given the vehicle's age and usage pattern.
