2014 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · HT14 LTA

The Dacia Duster presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 100,393 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle clearing every pass test cleanly across the three years of available history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry, indicating the tester found no consumable wear or structural concerns requiring monitoring at the time of each examination. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for a 2014 vehicle, rising from 82,055 miles at the 9 November 2023 test to 93,446 miles on 7 November 2024 and reaching 100,393 miles by September 2025. That equates to roughly 8,300 to 9,000 miles annually, consistent with average use and no signs of rapid accumulation or prolonged standing. The record is sparse but clean, with only pass and fail lines showing and no descriptive fault text attached to any failure. Two failed tests precede passes at near-identical mileages: 7 November 2024 at 93,446 miles then a pass on 14 November 2024 at 93,605 miles, and 27 September 2025 at 100,393 miles then a pass two days later at the same mileage. The DVSA entries list no defects for either failure, so the cause is undocumented. A buyer should confirm with the seller what rectification occurred in those short windows, as a fail with no recorded defect often points to an administrative or emissions-test anomaly rather than a physical fault. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust issues across the record, no specific mechanical weakness is evidenced. A pre-purchase inspection should still verify underside structural integrity, brake caliper operation, and tyre condition, since these items were not separately advised and the high-age Duster chassis can conceal rust where the MOT did not note it.
