2017 Dacia Duster 1.2L Petrol · WU67 TKT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 October 2025 with 42,505 miles and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a recent improvement after recurring issues were addressed in previous years. While the history indicates a period of minor failures, the lack of advisories in the latest test suggests the current owner has rectified the faults identified by the tester. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 42,505 miles averages approximately 4,700 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. This low usage suggests light motorway use or long periods of inactivity. The data shows a consistent increase of roughly 6,000 miles between October 2024 and October 2025, indicating the vehicle is still in regular use. However, such low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age rather than wear, which is evident in the vehicle's history. A buyer must inspect the tyres in detail, as the record shows a persistent trend of cracking and perishing from 2021 through to 2024. Despite low mileage, the sidewalls of the tyres have shown signs of age-related decay, suggesting the vehicle may have sat for extended periods. The 2021 test also noted inner edge wear on the nearside front tyre, indicating potential past alignment issues or suspension geometry faults that should be verified now to ensure they have not returned. Physical inspection should also focus on the seat belt buckle and headlamp security, which were noted faults in 2020 and 2023 respectively. While these were passed in subsequent tests, verifying the security of these components is essential. Given the low mileage and the age of the car, check for brake corrosion on the discs and seized calipers, as these components can suffer when vehicles are not driven frequently.
