2019 Dacia Duster 1.6L Petrol · SR19 ABK

The 2019 Dacia Duster demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-08-13, which recorded a pass with no defects at 41,528 miles. However, the vehicle’s history shows repeated MOT failures and passes at identical mileages (e.g., 41,527 and 41,528 miles on 2025-08-13), raising questions about data consistency. No structural, brake, or suspension issues were flagged in the recorded tests, suggesting the car has not developed critical mechanical faults. The absence of advisories or failures on tyres, exhaust, or lighting indicates basic maintenance has been prioritized, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits deeper analysis. The vehicle’s mileage of 41,528 miles at 7 years old equates to approximately 5,933 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. The MOT record shows a one-year gap between the 2024-07-02 pass (33,064 miles) and the 2023-07-13 pass (23,080 miles), followed by a 12-month interval to the 2025-08-13 test. While the sparse data avoids evidence of rapid wear, the lack of intermediate MOTs means potential issues between 2023 and 2025 remain unverified. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden fatigue in these components. The absence of brake-related failures in the record does not preclude corrosion or binding calipers, which may require closer examination. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as prolonged inactivity could lead to rust in underbody areas. While the MOT history suggests no immediate risks, the vehicle’s maintenance pattern—marked by repeated passes and unexplained fails at identical mileages—warrants a pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical condition.
