Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This vehicle demonstrates a consistent track record of roadworthiness with no recorded defects or advisories across its recent inspection history, including the most recent pass on 08 July 2026. The absence of any flagged issues regarding structural integrity, emissions, or mechanical components suggests that the vehicle has met the minimum DVSA standards for safety and environmental compliance without requiring remedial work during its recorded testing intervals. The recorded mileage of 35,663 miles for a 2022 model indicates a usage pattern of approximately 8,916 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK average annual driving distances. This level of accumulation suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, moderate use rather than extended periods of stationary storage or high-intensity long-distance motorway driving. Mechanically, this moderate mileage profile implies that consumable components such as brake pads, discs, and tyres, as well as suspension bushes and dampers, should not be subject to extreme wear, though they remain subject to standard age-related degradation. Given the clean MOT history, there are no specific component failures or advisories from the DVSA to use as a basis for targeted mechanical inspection. However, since no previous defects have been noted, a prospective buyer should still perform a standard physical inspection of the vehicle's underside to check for any signs of early-stage corrosion on the exhaust system or subframe, as well as any evidence of fluid weeping from the engine or gearbox. During a test drive, focus on the absence of any unusual noises or vibrations that could indicate developing issues not yet captured by the MOT testing regime. Listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension when traversing uneven surfaces, which could signal worn bushes or coil springs, and feel for any steering pull or pedal judder that might indicate uneven brake disc wear or alignment issues. Ensure the clutch engagement and gear changes are smooth to confirm the drivetrain remains consistent with the recorded usage.

Our Verdict

This is a strong buy for a budget-friendly compact SUV, with a clean MOT record and low mileage for its age. We'd recommend viewing it promptly as clean, late-plate Dacias are in demand.

Given the two clean MOT passes with no advisories, this Duster appears well looked after, but always request the full service history to confirm routine maintenance such as oil changes and cam belt intervals on the 999cc turbo petrol. Negotiate from the position of a clean record, but check the orange paintwork for stone chips given the vivid colour and 35,663 miles of use. As no aggregate model reliability data is available, rely on the individual history and a professional inspection before purchase.

The 999cc three-cylinder petrol is known for modest fuel consumption, and as a Euro 6AP vehicle it should fall into a low VED band for a 2022 petrol SUV. Insurance groups for Dacia Dusters are typically low, helping keep premiums affordable for new drivers and families alike. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and basic maintenance are around £900-£1,100.

The MOT history shows no failures or advisories across both 2025 (28,845 miles) and 2026 (35,663 miles) tests, so no specific failure types are flagged for this vehicle. Nevertheless, inspect the orange bodywork closely for parking scrapes and the 17-inch wheels for kerb damage given the mileage covered. Check the 1.0 TCe engine for smooth cold starts and listen for turbo whine, and verify the clutch and gearbox operate cleanly on a test drive.

The 2022 Dacia Duster (GJ72MUY) is a September 2022 registered orange 1.0-litre petrol model with just 35,663 miles on the clock as of its July 2026 MOT. Both MOT tests to date (2025 and 2026) passed with no defects recorded, indicating careful use. With Euro 6AP compliance and below-average mileage, it presents a low-risk, cost-effective ownership proposition.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Dacia Duster, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.
