2020 Dacia Duster Prestige LPG TCE 4X2 1.0L Gas bi-fuel · CA20 AUT

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 22 June 2026, although this followed an initial failure due to ineffective windscreen wiper operation. While the MOT history from 2023 through 2025 was exemplary with no recorded defects, the most recent test indicates a shift in the maintenance trend. The emergence of multiple tyre-related advisories suggests that the vehicle is entering a phase where wear-and-tear components are beginning to degrade simultaneously, moving away from the previously stable condition. With a recorded mileage of 75,556 miles over approximately six years, this Duster has averaged roughly 12,593 miles per year. This usage rate is considered high for this vehicle class and age, implying a more accelerated wear cycle for critical consumables. Prospective buyers should anticipate that components such as brake pads, discs, and suspension mounts will have seen significant service and may be nearing the end of their operational lifespan compared to a lower-mileage example. Particular attention must be paid to the tyres, as the latest MOT report highlights cracking, perishing, and uneven wear on the edges of three out of four tyres. This pattern of edge wear is often a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes and track rod ends. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces and check for any steering drift or vibration through the steering wheel, which would confirm the need for a full four-wheel alignment and potential suspension overhaul. Given the high mileage and the LPG powertrain, it is essential to verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based and mileage-based fluid changes have been performed strictly. The buyer should inspect the brake discs for significant lip wear or corrosion and check the health of the 12V battery. Furthermore, a thorough inspection of the LPG system for leaks or perished hoses is recommended, alongside a check of the service book stamps to ensure the vehicle has not missed critical intervals during its period of heavy use.
