2015 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · PJ65 DMU

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a clear improving trend in mechanical presentation. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 November 2025 at 113,940 miles passed with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in December 2024, indicating that the previous issues causing earlier failures have been successfully rectified. While the history shows volatility, the lack of advisories in the two latest tests suggests the vehicle is currently maintained to a high standard for its age. At 113,940 miles over 11 years, the Duster averages approximately 10,358 miles per year, which aligns closely with UK national averages for a family vehicle. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with a 14,411-mile interval between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 14,969 miles between December 2024 and November 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car has been subjected to regular road use, which helps prevent the seal degradation and fluid issues associated with long periods of standing. The buyer should address the failures in December 2023 and November 2024 by verifying exactly what components were replaced to achieve subsequent passes. Since the record does not list the specific reasons for those failures, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake mounting points is necessary. Given the mileage and age, a close look at structural corrosion on the rear sills and underbody members is essential to ensure no hidden rust has begun to develop. Checking the condition of rubber bushings and the exhaust system will also confirm if the high-mileage wear has led to premature degradation.
