2016 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · MX66 WGC

The 2016 Dacia Duster with 56,065 miles demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, as evidenced by its most recent MOT on 2026-02-16, which passed with no defects. All prior tests from 2022 to 2026 also recorded no issues, indicating consistent maintenance and adherence to safety standards. The absence of recurring faults or advisories suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained, with no immediate mechanical risks identified in the recorded history. The mileage progression reveals a low annual average of 5,606 miles over 10 years, with significant gaps between tests. The 2022-09-16 MOT at 29,034 miles shows the vehicle had not accumulated meaningful mileage for over a year before the 2023-03-24 test at 29,727 miles. This pattern implies potential periods of inactivity, which could lead to component degradation, such as corrosion in the underbody or seized suspension bushes. The sudden jump to 40,120 miles by 2024-02-21 suggests resumed usage, but the lack of defects in subsequent tests confirms no critical failures arose from this fluctuation. A buyer should inspect the chassis for rust, particularly around the subframe and wheel arches, given the low mileage and potential storage periods. Check the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as infrequent use can accelerate dry rot in rubber components. Verify the battery’s condition and ensure the braking system—especially rear calipers and discs—shows no signs of binding or uneven wear. While the MOT history is clean, the vehicle’s usage pattern warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm no hidden issues stem from prolonged inactivity.
