2019 Dacia Duster 1.3L Petrol · MP19 ABV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 3 December 2025 at 59,067 miles. While the most recent result indicates a clean pass, the immediate history shows a period of instability. The car failed two tests in late 2025, once in May and again in early December before passing on the third attempt. This suggests that specific mechanical or safety issues required rectification to bring the vehicle up to standard, though the current status reflects a resolved state with no defects recorded upon final inspection. The mileage pattern remains consistent with average UK usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. The record shows steady growth between June 2023 at 37,735 miles and June 2024 at 49,316 miles. However, there is a notable cluster of activity between June 2024 and December 2025, where the vehicle covered roughly 9,750 miles in eighteen months. This rate, combined with the consecutive failures during that period, indicates the vehicle may have been undergoing more intensive use or required more frequent maintenance during that specific interval. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the components most likely causing the two 2025 failures. Since the record does not specify the exact reasons for those previous failures, it is vital to check for wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake components such as calipers or discs. Given the age of the Duster, inspecting the chassis for early signs of corrosion and checking the integrity of the exhaust system is essential to ensure the repairs performed prior to the December pass were comprehensive rather than temporary fixes.
