2018 Dacia Duster 1.6L Petrol · V50 ABY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 June 2025 with 107,858 miles. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the lack of recorded defects suggests either an administrative error or a minor issue that was immediately rectified before the re-test. Since the June 2023 test, the vehicle has maintained clean passes, indicating that it currently meets the minimum safety standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures being flagged annually. At 107,858 miles, this eight-year-old Duster has averaged approximately 13,500 miles per year, which exceeds the national average for a passenger car. The mileage accumulation shows consistent, long-distance use, evidenced by the 10,565 miles covered between the June 2023 and June 2024, and another 7,198 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This high mileage profile typically accelerates the wear on rubber-related components, particularly the suspension bushings, shock absorbers, and the drivetrain system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the mechanical components most susceptible to high-mileage stress. Given the consistent usage, check for play in the front control arm bushes and signs of oil leakage around the engine or gearbox seals. The braking system requires a close look for thin discs or seized calipers, as high-mileage vehicles often see accelerated component fatigue. While the MOT history shows no reported structural corrosion, an underbody inspection of the sills and mounting points is advisable to ensure the high mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
