2019 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · YM19 OCS

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent and clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 7 April 2026 at 42,305 miles passed with no defects recorded, maintaining a trend of perfect passes across the previous five years. This stability suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common mechanical failures or structural degradations seen in older models. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with typical low-mileage usage, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between the March 2022 test at 18,247 miles and the April 2026 test at 42,305 miles, the vehicle covered 24,058 miles. This steady accumulation indicates regular use, which is often beneficial for maintaining seals and keeping components lubricated compared to a vehicle that sits for long periods of inactivity. The lack of significant spikes in mileage between annual tests confirms the owner has not subjected the drivetrain to extreme long-distance hauling in short intervals. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories regarding corrosion, binding brake calipers, or suspension bushes, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable wear that falls outside the scope of an MOT test. A buyer should verify the condition of the tyres and check for brake pad thickness, as low mileage can sometimes lead to surface rust on discs if not heat-cycled regularly. Checking the rubber boots for cracks and the integrity of the control arms remains prudent to ensure the lack of recorded faults reflects the actual physical state of the chassis.
