2016 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · WR16 RUW

The 2025‑06‑09 MOT at 46,706 miles recorded a pass, yet the same mileage entry also shows a fail with no defects listed, indicating a conflicting outcome; nevertheless the overall maintenance trend remains stable, with no recorded defects in the 2024‑06‑07, 2023‑06‑19 or 2023‑06‑16 tests. The vehicle’s mileage rose from 33,314 miles in June 2023 to 46,706 miles by June 2025, an increase of 13,392 miles over two years, or roughly 6,700 miles per year, which is higher than the average 4,671 miles per year expected for a ten‑year‑old Duster and suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. The intervals between tests are consistent, with no extended gaps that would imply the car was standing idle for many months. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear or binding, inspect the brake calipers and discs for corrosion or uneven wear, and check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, especially given the repeated fails that may have related to these areas. The absence of recorded defects in the later tests suggests that any previous issues were rectified, but the recurring nature of the fails warrants a close on‑site verification of brake performance, suspension integrity, and exhaust condition before purchase.
