2015 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · VE64 RVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding suspension and braking. The most recent test in January 2026 at 72,647 miles showed an initial failure due to a fractured nearside front coil spring and a corroded offside front spring. While the vehicle passed immediately following these repairs, the recurrence of a distorted offside front road wheel and perishing rear tyres indicates that the owner only addresses faults once they trigger a failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At approximately 72,647 miles, the Duster averages roughly 6,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The records show a consistent usage pattern with roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles covered between tests from 2023 to 2026. This steady mileage suggests the car does not sit for long periods, though the low mileage accelerates the degradation of rubber components, as seen with the cracking noted on the offside rear tyre. A buyer should scrutinise the front suspension assembly, as the record repeatedly flagged multiple coil spring issues and distorted road wheels across several years. The brake system also shows a pattern of neglect, with front discs consistently noted as pitted and scored from 2023 through to 2025. This suggests the discs are nearing the end of their functional life or have suffered from corrosion due to low use. Physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls and the alignment of the wheels is essential, as the history shows recurring issues with uneven wear and material-related damage.
