2019 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · WA19 OLW

The 2019 Dacia Duster presents a largely stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 23 March 2026 at 64,423 miles resulting in a pass. The tester flagged a front brake disc worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened, indicating surface degradation rather than an immediate structural failure. This is the only advisory recorded in the last four tests, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a reasonable standard, with no recurring mechanical or structural failures. The trend is broadly stable, with only minor wear items appearing intermittently. The mileage progression is consistent and unremarkable for a seven-year-old vehicle. The car covered approximately 6,473 miles between the March 2026 test and the April 2025 test at 57,950 miles, and roughly 8,698 miles between April 2025 and April 2024 at 49,252 miles. This equates to an average annual mileage of around 9,203 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and class. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer readings that would suggest long periods of inactivity or clocking concerns. The record is clean and sequential, with no failed tests across the entire history. The only recurring theme in the MOT record relates to front-end wear. In May 2022 at 23,216 miles, both front tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit or worn on edge, pointing to either aggressive use or a lack of alignment checks at that stage of ownership. The March 2026 advisory regarding a worn and pitted front brake disc suggests the front braking system has experienced sustained thermal or abrasive stress. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension bushes, ball joints, and track rod ends for play, as uneven tyre wear often correlates with worn steering or suspension geometry. The condition of the front brake discs and pads should be verified, along with the integrity of the brake lines and hoses for any signs of corrosion or perishing. Beyond the flagged items, the MOT record contains no structural corrosion advisories, exhaust emissions failures, or lighting defects, which is encouraging for a vehicle of this age. A physical inspection should still focus on the underbody and sill areas for any signs of surface rust or previous repairs, as these are not always captured in a standard MOT advisory. The rear brakes, exhaust system, and coil springs should also be checked for wear or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been used on rough or salted roads. Overall, the record suggests a vehicle that has been adequately maintained, with only minor wear items requiring attention.
