2019 Dacia Duster 1.6L Petrol · SA19 UDV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record following a single early failure. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 87,271 miles resulted in no defects recorded, mirroring the clean results of the previous three annual inspections. This suggests that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a standard that meets minimum safety requirements without recurring mechanical or structural failures surfacing in the last two years. The mileage data indicates this Duster sees significant use, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year. There is a notable acceleration in usage recorded between April 2024 at 74,060 miles and March 2025 at 85,527 miles, where the vehicle covered over 11,000 miles in just eleven months. This high-frequency usage is consistent with long-distance commuting, which often prevents the degradation issues associated with long-term standing, but typically puts greater strain on suspension components and drivetrain compared to lower-mileage examples. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Attention must be paid to the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs, as these often fatigue after the 80,000-mile mark. The braking system should also be checked for uneven pad wear or thinning discs, as the MOT only tests functional efficiency rather than the remaining life of these consumables.
