2016 Dacia Duster 1.6L Petrol · MA16 AEC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistently positive maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 March 2026 at 47,591 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a string of clean results in previous years. While a failure was noted earlier in March 2024, the immediate pass on the same day indicates that the owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly to maintain legal road standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,760 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time, moving from 29,864 miles in March 2023 to 47,591 miles in March 2026. This low annual mileage suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion if the car sits stationary for long periods between tests. Given the lack of recurring structural or major mechanical faults in the history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age rather than wear. Specifically examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perished rubber, as low mileage does not prevent natural material fatigue. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or heavy oxidation, which often occurs with infrequent use. Additionally, inspect the underside for any early signs of corrosion to ensure the structural integrity of the chassis remains sound despite the low odometer reading.
