2019 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · SO68 JOJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening regarding mechanical wear and tear. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026, the result included several advisories related to suspension, braking, and lighting. This marks a shift from the clean record seen in 2024, indicating that components are now reaching the end of their service life as the car ages and accumulates mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,600 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of miles between tests, moving from 56,280 miles in early 2024 to 69,616 in early 2025, and reaching 81,354 by early 2026. This regular usage suggests the car is driven consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the suspension, as both rear coil springs were noted for corrosion and the track rod ends previously showed play in the ball joints. The front brake discs are also showing signs of pitting and wear, which indicates they may require replacement soon to ensure optimal stopping performance. Additionally, the rear seat belts should be checked for the fraying or damage noted on the offside side, as this is a safety concern that needs addressing.
