2016 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · J666 CHJ

The 2016 Dacia Duster exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-09-17 MOT at 42,823 miles. All prior tests, including the 2024-09-20 (37,171 miles), 2023-10-03 (31,556 miles), 2022-03-02 (25,445 miles), and 2021-01-11 (23,681 miles), also passed without issues. This consistent performance suggests the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns flagged in the official records. The mileage progression aligns with a low annual average of approximately 4,282 miles, reflecting either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The 14-month gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests, during which mileage increased by 1,764 miles, indicates intermittent operation. Subsequent annual tests show steady growth, with no abrupt spikes that might signal excessive wear. The absence of recurring defects or advisories in the history implies the vehicle has not experienced significant mechanical stress despite its age. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which can degrade over time without regular use. Brake discs and calipers may show corrosion if the car was stored for extended periods, while the exhaust system should be checked for rust near the catalytic converter. Body panels and underbody corrosion remain potential risks, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to unnoticed rust in sheltered areas. The clean MOT record does not preclude these issues, which require hands-on verification.
