2016 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · LB65 MME

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent inspection conducted on 7 July 2025 at 95,315 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the previous owners have maintained the mechanical integrity of the vehicle effectively over the last several years. The mileage pattern aligns well with average usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. Between July 2022 and July 2025, the car covered 28,141 miles, showing a consistent rate of use without long periods of inactivity. A brief failure occurred in July 2023 at 78,134 miles, which was just ten days before a successful test at 78,179 miles. This sequence suggests a minor consumable issue or a component failure that was identified and rectified immediately, rather than a pattern of long-term neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components typically prone to wear at this mileage bracket. While the MOT record shows no recurring structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs should be verified for signs of perishing. Given that the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, checking for fluid leaks around the drivetrain and assessing the thickness of the brake discs is also prudent. The lack of advisories in the last two tests suggests the vehicle has been in good repair, but a manual check of the undercarriage remains necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed since the last inspection.
