2016 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · SF66 ABJ

This Dacia Duster presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of no recorded defects across its recent testing cycle. The most recent pass on 6 October 2025 at 60,609 miles confirms the vehicle currently meets minimum legal standards. While the record shows two failures in September 2025 and September 2023, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved immediately during the same visit. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,061 miles per year. There is a steady increase in distance between tests, moving from 45,574 miles in September 2023 to 53,675 miles in September 2024, and finally reaching 60,609 miles by October 2025. This linear progression indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally helps maintain seals and battery health. The absence of any advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear over the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should manually verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the remaining thickness of consumables. Checking for underbody corrosion is also recommended, as the clean record implies a lack of structural issues but does not guarantee the absence of surface rust on the chassis. Given the lack of recorded mechanical failures, the primary focus for a physical inspection should be on the service history. The MOT record confirms the car is roadworthy, but it does not track oil changes or timing belt intervals. Confirming these maintenance milestones will determine if the previous owner followed a rigorous mechanical schedule or relied solely on the annual test for vehicle health checks.
