2018 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · SL18 ADZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 March 2025 at 65,197 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle has successfully addressed any issues identified in the previous year. While a failure was recorded in March 2024, the immediate retest on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying faults to maintain legal compliance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,150 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the car covered 11,053 miles, showing a slight increase in usage compared to the 8,888 miles recorded between 2022 and 2023. This rate of accumulation remains within typical parameters, which generally limits excessive wear on drivetrain components and rubber bushings while preventing the accelerated stress associated with high-mileage vehicles. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the last two tests, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common Duster wear points that the MOT does not always capture. The front suspension arms and coil springs should be checked for play or cracking at this mileage. It is also prudent to inspect the brake discs for uneven thinning or deep corrosion, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than the remaining life of the components.
