2014 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · NG14 XFX

The 2014 Dacia Duster with 67,658 miles shows a stable roadworthiness trend, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent test on 2025-05-22 confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results that consistently recorded no failures or advisories. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards, with no emerging mechanical concerns detected in the official records. The mileage of 67,658 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 5,638 annual miles, significantly lower than average for its age. Spaced MOT tests between 2021 and 2025 reveal gradual mileage increases, with gaps of 6,849 to 7,000 miles between tests. This suggests periods of light use or potential storage, which could affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers if not regularly exercised. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the records is positive but does not eliminate the need for a physical inspection of underbody components. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system for dry joints or worn bushes, as low mileage can lead to stiffness. The exhaust system merits scrutiny for rust, particularly around the catalytic converter, given the vehicle’s age. While no brake-related defects were recorded, the absence of tyre tread advisories does not preclude uneven wear from long-term inactivity. The lack of historical issues is reassuring, but a hands-on assessment of fluid levels, steering response, and engine performance is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s operational integrity.
