2025 Dacia Duster Expression TCE HEV Auto Hybrid electric (clean) · SC74 WPF

The DVSA database contains no MOT record for this 2025 Dacia Duster Expression TCe HEV, meaning a definitive test outcome cannot be quoted and there is no historical data from which to infer whether the vehicle’s maintenance regime is improving, deteriorating or remaining steady. In the absence of any recorded pass or fail, the prospective buyer must treat the car as having an unknown compliance status and arrange an independent pre‑purchase inspection before any road use is contemplated. Mileage is not supplied in the available information, so a quantitative comparison with the vehicle’s one‑year age cannot be made. Without a mileage figure it is impossible to gauge whether the car has been driven lightly, stored for long periods, or accumulated high annual kilometres, each of which would have distinct implications for wear on the power‑train, suspension components and tyre life. The buyer should request the current odometer reading and, if possible, a service history that records mileage at each interval to establish a realistic usage pattern. Given the vehicle is effectively brand‑new but with no MOT or mileage data, the inspection should focus on time‑related degradation rather than mileage‑related wear. Verify that the tyre sidewalls are free of cracking, dry rot or bulging, as rubber can perish after a few years even on low‑mileage cars. Examine the 12‑volt battery terminals for corrosion and assess the state of charge of the hybrid battery, preferably with a diagnostic scan that can read the high‑voltage pack’s state of health. Check that all fluid levels – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and the hybrid coolant – are at the correct specifications and show no signs of contamination, remembering that many manufacturers recommend fluid replacement on a calendar basis regardless of mileage. During a short test drive listen for any clunk, squeak or groan from the suspension bushings, coil springs and anti‑roll bar links, as these can develop early in a new vehicle if mounting points were compromised during assembly or transport. Observe the braking response for any pulsation, noise or uneven pull, which could indicate premature disc wear, caliper binding or insufficient brake fluid conditioning. Finally, inspect the under‑carriage for any signs of corrosion on the exhaust system, chassis rails or mounting brackets, and ensure that all electronic warning lights, including the hybrid system indicators, illuminate briefly on start‑up and then extinguish, confirming that the on‑board diagnostics are functioning correctly. A thorough independent mechanical and electronic appraisal will provide the confidence needed to proceed with the purchase.
