2014 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · SD14 XDO

The most recent MOT passed in January 2026, but it carries several advisories regarding the suspension, brakes, and tyres. While the vehicle is technically roadworthy, these notes indicate that several components are approaching the end of their useful life. The mechanical condition of this vehicle is trending downwards. After a clean MOT in early 2023, there has been a consistent increase in the number and variety of defects recorded each year. The most concerning pattern is the progressive corrosion of the coil springs, which has moved from the front and rear in 2024 to all four corners in the most recent test. There are also recurring issues with suspension and steering components, including ball joint play and previous issues with the steering rack inner joints. The braking system is also showing signs of age, with repeated mentions of pitted or scored discs and a recent report of a binding rear brake. With approximately 117,098 miles, the mileage is typical for a 12-year-old vehicle. This level of usage suggests standard wear and tear for its age, but the increasing frequency of MOT advisories suggests that maintenance may not have been kept ahead of the vehicle's natural deterioration. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension and steering to check for play in the joints.
