2021 Dacia Duster Essential TCE 4X2 1.0L Petrol · DE71 AOK

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 28 July 2025 at 19,443 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a clean result from August 2024, indicating that the vehicle has operated without mechanical or structural failures during its primary inspection intervals. The mileage profile is significantly low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,889 miles annually. Between the August 2024 test at 13,861 miles and the July 2025 test, the car covered 5,582 miles, showing consistent but light-use patterns that suggest short-distance trips rather than motorway commuting. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can occasionally lead to minor spotting on brake discs if the car remains stationary for extended periods. Since the MOT history is devoid of faults, a physical inspection should focus on signs typical of low-mileage use rather than mechanical failure. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting which often occurs on cars that sit for long intervals. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spotting, and ensure they have not aged despite having ample tread depth. Additionally, examine rubber bushings and suspension components for any signs of cracking, as these components can degrade over time regardless of the distance driven.
