2023 Dacia Duster Expression TCE 4X2 Auto 1.3L Petrol · GU23 ABO

This Dacia Duster presents a very strong initial record of roadworthiness, having passed its first mandatory MOT test on 2026-05-27 with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that at the point of its first inspection, all safety-critical and emissions components met the required standards without issue. A clean pass at its earliest possible MOT sets a positive precedent for its mechanical condition. With 16,775 miles recorded at its recent MOT, this vehicle has covered an average of approximately 5,592 miles per year since its registration. This is considered low mileage for a vehicle of its age, suggesting it has not experienced heavy or prolonged daily use. While lower mileage can reduce wear on high-stress components like the engine and transmission, it is important to ensure that regular servicing has been maintained according to the manufacturer's schedule, as fluids and rubber components can still degrade over time regardless of mileage. Given the entirely clean MOT history with no recorded defects or advisories, specific component checks based on past failures are not applicable. Instead, a general comprehensive pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended to establish the current condition of all major systems. This should include a thorough examination of the braking system for even wear and adequate pad/disc thickness, suspension components for any early signs of wear or play in bushes, and a check for fluid leaks or corrosion, particularly on underbody components which are not always visible during a standard MOT if they are not yet at a reportable level. During a test drive, pay close attention to the engine's smooth running, the automatic transmission's shift quality, and the responsiveness of the steering and brakes. Listen for any unusual noises from the suspension over bumps or during cornering, and feel for any vibrations through the steering wheel or brake pedal. As the vehicle is still relatively new, these checks are primarily preventative to ensure no issues have developed since the last MOT.
