2018 Dacia Duster 1.6L Petrol · YK18 KSS

This 2018 Dacia Duster has covered 45,907 miles over roughly eight years, averaging around 5,738 miles per year. That is notably low mileage for its age and suggests either light use or extended periods of standing. Low-mileage vehicles can present a mixed picture: while they may have experienced less mechanical stress, they can also suffer from fluid degradation, corrosion, and component stiffness if not regularly exercised or maintained. The MOT history shows a sharp deterioration in the most recent test. The vehicle passed without defects in 2021, 2022, and 2024, but the July 2025 MOT—just under a year ago—recorded multiple advisories centred on brake system corrosion and tyre condition. Both front brake pipes are corroded and covered in grease or other material, and the brake pipe running front to rear shows the same corrosion pattern. The front brake disc is worn, pitted, and scored, though not yet seriously weakened. Both rear tyres are worn close to the legal limit and show edge wear, with the nearside rear also slightly damaged and cracking. A nail was found in the nearside rear tyre. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been standing or used very lightly for a period, allowing moisture to accumulate in the brake system and cause corrosion.
