2019 Dacia Duster Prestige Blue DCI 4X2 1.5L Heavy oil · OGZ 6380

A consistent track record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the two recorded MOT tests showing no defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 10 September 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded issues, mirroring the clean result from the 2023 test on 14 September. This pattern indicates that the vehicle has met the minimum safety and environmental standards without any documented failures or flagged areas of concern regarding structural integrity, braking systems, or emissions during these specific inspection intervals. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, totaling 48,141 miles over approximately seven years. This equates to an average annual distance of roughly 6,877 miles, which represents a moderate usage profile. Mechanically, this level of mileage suggests that components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs have not been subjected to the high-frequency wear associated with heavy long-distance commuting, nor the potential degradation from excessive periods of stationary use. Given the absence of any recorded advisories for components such as suspension linkages, brake pipes, or exhaust corrosion, a test drive should focus on verifying the current state of these systems. Listen for any dull knocks or clunks when driving over uneven surfaces, which could indicate wear in the suspension bushes or shock absorbers that has not yet reached a failure threshold. Check for any steering pull or vibration through the steering wheel at varying speeds, which would be indicative of issues with wheel alignment or tyre wear. The braking system should be evaluated for any pedal judder or unevenness, which might suggest uneven disc wear or binding calipers. While the MOT history does not show any recorded oil misting or leaks, it is prudent to inspect the engine bay and underbody for any signs of fluid seepage around the seals and gaskets. Since the vehicle has not been flagged for any specific mechanical defects, the inspection should remain focused on ensuring the tactile feedback of the controls matches the clean regulatory history provided by the DVSA.
