2013 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · SK13 KNF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the history reveals a concerning trend of reactive maintenance. While it passed the latest test in November 2025 at 109,286 miles, the previous failure just two weeks prior highlighted a critical list of mechanical defects. The transition from a clean pass in late 2024 to a multi-point failure in late 2025 suggests that components are reaching the end of life and the owner only addresses faults when they fail an official inspection rather than following a preventative service schedule. The recorded mileage of 109,286 miles over 13 years averages to approximately 8,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for an older SUV. However, the data shows a significant spike in activity between October 2024 at 10,059 miles and November 2025 at 109,196 miles. This 99,000 miles driven in a single year has accelerated the wear on perishable components, as evidenced by the multiple failures in the suspension and braking systems recorded during this period. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front-end geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with worn lower suspension arm bushes, ball joints, and track rod ends. The 2025 advisory regarding inner-edge wear on the offside front tyre indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension components that remain unaddressed. Furthermore, the braking system requires close attention; the tester flagged pitted and scored front discs and a binding rear service brake in consecutive tests. You should verify that the repairs made after the October 2025 failure included brake hose mounting and disc replacement to ensure no further mechanical failure occurs.
