2015 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · NG64 UVE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 155,534 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in both 2024 and 2025. These failures suggest that minor defects or consumable-related issues are being addressed only when prompted by testing rather than proactively. The lack of recorded advisories on the latest certificate indicates that the vehicle met the minimum standards for roadworthiness at that specific moment. This Duster has accumulated a high mileage for its age, averaging over 14,000 miles per year across eleven years. Between the May 2023 test at 121,649 miles and the June 2024 test at 141,485 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 20,000 miles in just thirteen months. This rapid rate of use places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The interval of 14,049 miles covered between the June 2024 and September 2025 tests confirms a consistent high-usage profile, which typically accelerates the wear on rubber components and shock absorbers. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection focused on the suspension geometry and underbody, as high mileage often leads to perished suspension bushes and worn coil springs. Given the recurring failures prior to passing, the braking system should be checked for thin discs or binding calipers. The structural integrity of the chassis also requires scrutiny for corrosion along the sills and mounting points, as high-mileage vehicles are frequently exposed to more environmental wear. Verifying the clutch condition and engine health is essential to ensure the high mileage has not resulted in imminent mechanical failure.
