2017 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · OV67 DGU

The 2017 Dacia Duster presents a clean bill of health through its entire MOT history, with no advisories or failures recorded across five consecutive annual tests. The most recent examination on 16 October 2025 at 49,656 miles passed with zero defects, indicating a stable and well-maintained vehicle. This is a strong positive signal for any prospective buyer. Mileage accumulation tells a consistent story of light use. The car covered roughly 6,000 miles per year between October 2021 and October 2025, with each annual test recording steady, predictable increments: 5,599 miles between 2021 and 2022, 5,599 between 2022 and 2023, 7,122 between 2023 and 2024, and 6,049 between 2024 and 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest odometer tampering or prolonged periods of disuse. The vehicle has been driven regularly but gently, which is generally favourable for mechanical longevity. Despite the clean paper record, a physical inspection remains essential. The Duster's rear brake setup is known to suffer from binding calipers and uneven disc wear, particularly on models used for short trips. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for deterioration, as these degrade with age regardless of mileage. The underbody and sills need close scrutiny for corrosion, especially around the rear subframe mounting points where rust can compromise structural integrity on older examples. Tyre condition and exhaust emissions should also be verified in person, as consumable wear patterns can change rapidly between tests. The clean MOT history suggests attentive previous ownership, but no record substitutes for a hands-on mechanical assessment before purchase.
