2013 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · LX63 NJN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on June 5 2025 with 151,354 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently achieved a pass following each inspection, despite recorded failures immediately preceding those passes. The fact that the 2025 test showed no defects after the failure suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults to ensure the car met legal standards. The mileage profile is consistent with typical annual usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per year. Between the June 2023 test at 121,036 miles and the June 2024 test at 139,537 miles, the car covered 18,501 miles in a single year, indicating a period of higher intensity followed by a more standard 11,817 miles the following year. This consistent interval suggests regular road use, which is often better for mechanical components like seals and bushings than long periods of standing. While the recent record shows no outstanding defects, the recurring failures in 2024 and 2025 indicate that specific components frequently require attention just before the annual test. A buyer should perform a physical inspection focusing on the suspension system, specifically the wish arms and bushes, as these are common points of wear on Dusters of this mileage. Given the age, close attention should also be paid to structural corrosion on the chassis and the condition of the brake lines to ensure no hidden degradation is developing between the annual checks.
