2014 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · SD64 UBX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 with 81,044 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a significant failure in early 2023. While the previous failure revealed critical braking system issues, the subsequent passes indicate that the necessary mechanical repairs were addressed and the vehicle has maintained a stable state of operation since. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of twelve years' age, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between March 2025 and February 2026, the D covered 8,603 miles, showing a steady usage profile. The gap of 8,917 miles between February 2024 and March 2025 reflects a similar annual interval. This regular usage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which can often lead to premature corrosion of seals and degradation of rubber components. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the braking system, as the March 2023 failure identified excessive corrosion across all four brake pipe sections. Although these were replaced, a buyer must verify that the new lines remain free of surface rust and that no fluid leaks are present at the union joints. The March 2025 advisory regarding front tyres being worn on the inner edges indicates a likely alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The buyer should check the front suspension geometry for play or damage to ensure the uneven wear does not continue or premature failure of new tyres.
