2022 Dacia Duster 1.3L Petrol · KV22 ANP

A consistent track record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT pass on 06 February 2026 showing no recorded defects. This follows a successful test in February 2025, establishing a pattern of zero failures or advisories across the recorded testing history. The absence of any flagged issues regarding structural integrity, braking systems, or lighting suggests that the primary mechanical components have met the required DVSA standards during these inspections. The vehicle exhibits a low-usage profile, having covered 14,608 miles over approximately four years of age. This equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 3,652 miles, which is significantly lower than the UK national average. While lower mileage typically implies less wear on consumable components such as brake pads, discs, and tyres, such infrequent use can sometimes lead to components being used less frequently, which may affect the mechanical operation of certain systems if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Given the lack of recorded advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust corrosion, a test drive should focus on confirming the absence of any subtle mechanical irregularities that may not have been captured during a stationary MOT inspection. Listen for any unexpected knocks or knocks from the suspension when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate wear in the bushings or dampers. Additionally, check for any steering pull or vibrations through the steering wheel at varying speeds to ensure the geometry and wheel bearings remain within specification. Since no brake-related advisories such as binding calipers or worn discs were noted, the driver should pay close attention to the pedal feel and response. Ensure there is no pedal judder under braking or any pulling to one side during deceleration. It is also advisable to check for any signs of oil misting or fluid leaks around the engine bay and underside, as the low annual mileage means the vehicle may not have undergone the regular thermal cycling that can help prevent certain types of seal degradation.
