2018 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · HN68 PPK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent inspection on August 6, 2025 at 68,989 miles noted an advisory for front brake discs that were pitted or scored. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates the beginning of a wear cycle on the braking system following years of clean reports in 2023 and 2024. The mileage pattern is typical for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. The data shows a period of lower usage between October 2022 and August 2023, where the car covered only 3,346 miles in ten months. Since the 2024 test, the usage has accelerated, with nearly 2,000 miles covered in the final year recorded. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is currently in regular use, which generally correlates with predictable wear patterns on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system to determine if the pitting and scoring on the discs have compromised their surface integrity or thickness. Given the advisory from 2025, checking the remaining pad thickness and looking for signs of caliper seizing is essential. Because the history shows no previously recorded structural corrosion or suspension failures, a thorough check of the undercarriage for surface rust or worn control arm bushes remains advisable to ensure no hidden issues have developed since the last test.
