2013 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · PK63 ACU

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available records, though the MOT history is severely outdated. The most recent pass occurred on 3 September 2022 at 134,136 miles. Because there are no recorded tests since late 2022, the car has been without a valid MOT for nearly four years. This gap makes it impossible to verify the current roadworthiness or identify any deterioration that has occurred since the last inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It covered 19,624 miles between September 2020 and September 2021, and another 19,624 miles by September 2022. This suggests a period of regular, high-intensity use before the vehicle became dormant. The fact that the mileage remained frozen at 134,136 miles during the September 2022 tests indicates the car has likely been stationary for a significant duration. A buyer must prioritize a full mechanical inspection due to the prolonged period of inactivity. Long-term standing often leads to seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded battery health. While the history shows no recorded defects or advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion, the absence of data for four years is a significant risk. Particular attention should be paid to the braking system and fluid integrity. The lack of any flagged faults in the 2020, 2021, and 2022 tests suggests a well-maintained vehicle during its active life, but this does not account for current degradation. A professional check for chassis rust and engine seal leaks is essential before this vehicle returns to the road.
