2016 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · SH66 AAO

This 2016 Dacia Duster presents a clean and stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive clean passes without a single recorded advisory or failure. The most recent test on 09 May 2025 at 33,294 miles confirms the vehicle remains in a reliable state of repair. The absence of recurring defects across this five-year window indicates a consistent standard of preventative maintenance and careful ownership. The vehicle has covered a modest 33,294 miles over its ten-year lifespan, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile is remarkably consistent, with annual increments ranging from roughly 2,000 to 4,700 miles between 2021 and 2025. Such steady, light usage suggests the car has not been subjected to the heavy stress of high-speed motorway commuting or intensive commercial hauling. While low mileage often benefits drivetrain longevity, it can sometimes lead to issues with seized brake components or perished rubber seals if the vehicle sat idle for extended periods. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the brake discs and calipers, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface corrosion on friction surfaces due to infrequent use. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of degradation or cracking, as rubber components age regardless of distance covered. Given the Dacia Duster platform, verify the underside for any early signs of surface corrosion on the subframe and exhaust system. While the MOT history is exemplary, a thorough check of the service history for oil changes and fluid flushes remains necessary to ensure the engine and transmission have received adequate care during their long periods of inactivity.
