2021 Dacia Duster Comfort LPG TCE 4X2 1.0L Gas bi-fuel · CN71 UBT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 31,862 miles identified significant wear on the front brake pads on both sides and noted that the offside front brake disc was nearing the legal limit. This indicates that while the vehicle passed the test, the braking components have reached the end of their service life and require immediate attention to maintain safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,372 miles per annum. Between the September 2024 test at 22,137 miles and the September 2025 test, the car covered nearly 10,000 miles. This acceleration in usage is typical, though the 2024 MOT failure due to front tyre tread depth being below the 1.6mm requirement suggests that the previous owner neglected basic consumable maintenance until they were forced to address it by a test failure. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the front braking system in person. Given that the offside disc was already at the limit in 2025, a full replacement of front discs and pads is likely necessary to ensure even stopping performance. The buyer should also check the remaining tyres for uneven wear, as the previous history of low tread depth suggests potential lack of alignment or pressure monitoring. Since no structural corrosion or complex suspension faults were recorded in the history, the focus remains strictly on these high-wear-item items.
