2014 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · FE14 KFF

This 2014 Dacia Duster has a recent MOT pass from May 2026, but the history reveals a persistent and concerning pattern regarding corrosion and brake components. While the mileage of approximately 90,000 miles is typical for a 12-year-old vehicle, it does not exempt the car from the evident age-related degradation seen in the records. The most significant risk is the recurring issue with brake pipes. Corrosion on the brake pipes has been noted in every single MOT entry since at least May 2024, including both the offside and nearside pipes. This suggests a chronic issue with the vehicle's underside or the way the lines are being protected, which could lead to sudden hydraulic failure if left unaddressed. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be worsening rather than stable. While the 2026 pass cleared some previous failures, new issues have emerged, such as a corroded offside front coil spring and pitted brake discs. The repeated failures regarding tyre wear and headlamp aim in previous years suggest a maintenance approach that is reactive rather than preventative. The mileage of roughly 7,500 miles per year is moderate, implying the vehicle hasn't been excessively driven, but the presence of corrosion and pitted discs suggests it may have been used in environments where salt and moisture are prevalent, or perhaps it has spent periods standing. Before purchasing, you must inspect the underside of the vehicle thoroughly.
