2018 Dacia Duster 1.2L Petrol · FM18 RGX

The 2018 Duster presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 30 July 2025 at 78,050 miles. The most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all structural and mechanical roadworthiness standards at that time. Curiously, the record shows a failed test on the exact same date and mileage with no defects listed, likely reflecting an administrative anomaly or a procedural failure rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance trajectory remains stable, with no recurring mechanical issues or advisories logged across the recorded history. The mileage accumulation remained consistent for much of the vehicle's life, averaging roughly 9,756 miles annually. Between the July 2023 test at 49,371 miles and the July 2024 test at 64,584 miles, the Duster covered 15,213 miles, reflecting a period of heavier use. However, the odometer reading tells a different story recently. The most recent test on 30 July 2025 recorded 78,050 miles, meaning the vehicle has covered zero miles in the twelve months leading up to today's date. This complete lack of recent movement requires careful consideration. Because the Duster has evidently stood stationary for at least a year, a buyer must inspect components that deteriorate rapidly without regular use. Tyres require close scrutiny for sidewall cracking and flat-spotting, while brake discs and calipers must be checked for surface corrosion and binding. Suspension bushes and coil springs demand a visual assessment for perishing and corrosion, particularly given the Duster's rugged underpinnings. The exhaust system and underbody must also be inspected for structural rust, ensuring the vehicle's long-term integrity has not been compromised by its recent sedentary phase.
