2016 Dacia Duster 1.6L Petrol · SL03 RUS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 60,918 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just one day prior at 60,917 miles. Since the failure recorded no specific defects, it likely indicates a minor administrative issue, such as a blown bulb or a sensor fault that was rectified immediately before the retest. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles annually. Between September 2022 at 37,833 miles and October 2025 at 60,918 miles, the car covered 23,085 miles, maintaining a steady rate of use without sudden spikes in heavy mileage. This suggests the vehicle has not undergone long periods of neglect, though the low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain components, gearbox, and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage counterparts. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories for structural corrosion, suspension play, or brake components, the mechanical history appears sound. However, a buyer should still inspect the physical condition of rubber components like control arm bushes and boots for cracking, which can occur with age regardless of low mileage. Checking the brake discs for pitting is also advisable, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes develop surface oxidation if the brakes are not used frequently enough to keep the rotors clean.
