2013 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · MT63 RYO

The Dacia Duster currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 87,938 miles returned a fail with no defects recorded, which points to an administrative or presentation failure rather than a logged mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly on 22 June 2024 at 77,950 miles, so the underlying maintenance trend across logged passes shows stability with no advisories or defects raised across multiple years. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,764 miles, typical for a 2013 vehicle of this type. The records show steady accumulation: 61,482 miles in December 2021, 67,758 miles in June 2023, 77,950 miles in June 2024, and 87,938 miles by June 2025. A gap exists between the December 2021 and June 2023 tests, but the rise of about 6,276 miles over eighteen months fits the long-term average. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions issues ever flagged. The repeated clean passes and absence of advisories suggest previous owners kept basic consumable wear in check. The twin entries on 3 June 2023, a fail at 67,758 miles followed by a pass at 67,764 miles with no defects logged, indicate a rectification between tests rather than a serious fault. The 2025 fail with no defects recorded demands clarification from the seller or DVSA before any purchase. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, underbody corrosion, and binding calipers given the car's thirteen-year age. Verify the reason for the 2025 failure through the VOSA portal. Check tyre tread, wiper blades, and suspension articulation in person, as these consumables fall outside MOT defect logging when within limits.
