2015 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · SN65 LFF

Intermittent lighting failures and electronic malfunctions characterize the testing history, although the vehicle achieved a clean pass on 2026-05-22. Previous failures in 2023 and 2025 were primarily linked to incorrect headlamp aim and an inoperative engine management indicator light, suggesting a tendency for minor electrical or adjustment issues. While the most recent record is clear, the overall trend shows a vehicle that has required periodic corrections to maintain its roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 91,063 miles reflects a typical usage rate of approximately 8,278 miles per year over its eleven-year lifespan. This consistent accumulation suggests that the drivetrain and chassis have been subjected to standard wear and tear. Mechanically, this means that rubber components, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, as well as friction materials in the braking system, are likely entering a phase of increased wear. The braking system has been a recurring point of interest, with front discs recorded as pitted or scored in 2021 and 2022, and rear service brake binding noted in 2025. During a test drive, the buyer should feel for any unusual pedal resistance or a lack of immediate bite. It is also advisable to check if the rear wheels are excessively warm after a short journey, as this would indicate that the previously noted caliper binding persists. The reported free play in the handbrake lever should also be verified to ensure the parking brake holds the vehicle securely on an incline. Steering and suspension components warrant scrutiny following a 2022 advisory for play in the nearside front track rod end. Listen for any clicking or knocking sounds when turning the steering wheel at low speeds or when traversing uneven road surfaces, as these can be symptoms of worn linkages. Additionally, while the engine management light failure from 2023 was rectified, the buyer should confirm that the dashboard remains free of warning lights during the ignition cycle and throughout the drive.
