2019 Dacia Duster 1.6L Petrol · SA19 ABL

The Dacia Duster presents a fundamentally roadworthy profile as of its most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 23,443 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the five available MOT entries stays stable, showing zero advisories or mechanical faults. On that same date the tester first logged a failure at identical mileage with no defects cited, then issued a pass later the same day. This dual entry signals a procedural anomaly rather than mechanical decline. The consistent annual passes from August 2022 through July 2024 suggest previous owners kept basic servicing current. Mileage accumulation remains consistently low for a 2019 vehicle. From the August 2022 test at 16,657 miles to the August 2023 test at 18,362 miles, the car covered just 1,705 miles. By July 2024 at 20,674 miles it added 2,312 miles, and by July 2025 at 23,443 miles a further 2,769 miles. Annual averages sit near 3,350 miles, well below typical use. The record is sparse but clean, with each annual test returning a pass and no consumable wear flagged. Absence of recorded defects does not remove the need for physical inspection. Low mileage combined with likely periods of standing can allow suspension bushes to harden and coil springs to corrode without load. The buyer must examine brake discs for rust pitting and calipers for binding after inactivity. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants a close look for corrosion, given the vehicle's age. The buyer must verify exhaust emissions live, as short journeys may mask catalytic converter efficiency issues.
