2014 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · SC14 FSX

This 2014 Dacia Duster has exceptionally low mileage for its age, averaging only 1,356 miles per year. While this suggests light use, the MOT history indicates the vehicle has likely suffered from long periods of standing rather than active wear. The most recent MOT in June 2025 passed, but noted that all four tyres are cracking or perishing. This is a classic sign of age-related degradation due to inactivity rather than tread wear. Combined with the 2024 advisory for a corroded brake pipe, there is a clear trend of deterioration linked to stagnation and environmental exposure. The vehicle's condition trend is worsening. After several years of clean reports, the last two tests have highlighted rubber perishing and corrosion. This suggests that the low mileage is a risk factor here, as components are failing due to age and lack of use rather than mechanical fatigue. A buyer should first inspect the date codes on all tyres and the overall condition of the rubber bushings and belts, as these may also be perishing. Closely examine the brake pipes and underbody for further corrosion and check that the braking system is not seized from disuse.
