2019 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · WA19 OLB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, showing a maintenance trend that appears stable despite emerging minor mechanical wear. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 55,073 miles identified a slight play in the nearside track rod end ball joint. This represents a typical stage of wear for suspension components rather than a systemic failure, and the vehicle passed the test without further defects, suggesting the owner is addressing basic roadworthiness requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 30,676 miles and September 2023 at 37,251 miles, the car covered roughly 6,500 miles, followed by a higher interval of 8,800 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of rubber seals and brake components by preventing seizing. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension to assess the extent of the play in the track rod end noted in the 2025 record. While the 2024 failure regarding the offside front headlamp aim and leveling device was rectified quickly to allow a pass, an inspection should verify that the headlamp adjustment mechanism now functions correctly. Given the record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake system failures, the focus should remain on verifying the physical condition of the bushes and tyres to ensure the minor steering play is not progressing.
