2018 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · FG18 AEY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, passing its most recent MOT test on January 21 2026 at 82,315 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates that the mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum legal safety standards. The maintenance history shows a consistent pattern of passing over the last five years, suggesting that the owner has addressed necessary repairs as they arise. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation between tests, moving from 24,724 miles in February 2021 to 82,315 miles in early 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber seals, bushings, and braking components. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension during a physical inspection, as the record flagged the nearside front tyre as worn to the limit or uneven edge in both February 2022 at 37,360 miles and January 2025 at 74,414 miles. This recurring issue suggests potential alignment problems or worn ball arm bushes and wish joints that could cause premature tyre degradation. While the 2021 failure regarding ineffective wiper blades was resolved, the repeated tyre wear patterns indicate that the front-end geometry requires closer scrutiny to ensure no further mechanical play is developing.
