2017 Dacia Duster 1.6L Petrol · MF17 YFS

This vehicle has just passed its MOT on 22 May 2026, meaning it is currently roadworthy. However, the most recent inspection has flagged a new oil leak. While the tester noted it is not currently excessive, this represents a shift in the vehicle's condition. The MOT trend was stable and clean through 2024 and 2025, but the emergence of this leak suggests the vehicle is now entering a phase of age-related wear. The 2023 history also showed worn front brake discs and a damaged windscreen, though these were listed as advisories. The recorded mileage of 103,274 miles is typical for a nine-year-old car. This suggests consistent, regular use rather than extreme hard use or long periods of standing, which generally means wear on the drivetrain and suspension will be average for its age. A notable point from 2023 is that the load area was so full it hampered the inspector's ability to check all panelling. This indicates the car has been used for carrying significant loads, which can place additional stress on the rear suspension and chassis. When inspecting this car in person, your first priority should be the engine bay.
