2020 Dacia Duster Essential TCE 4X2 1.0L Petrol · HK20 ADZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a successful test on 18 March 2026 at 64,034 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the most recent inspection recorded no defects. This follows a failure on 17 March 2026 due to a non-functioning offside dipped beam headlamp, which was rectified immediately. Previous years showed more frequent issues, but the vehicle appears to be returning to a standard level of compliance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical UK usage pattern for a six-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 10,672 miles per year, moving from 38,790 miles in August 2023 to 64,034 miles in March 2026. This steady progression suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps prevent excessive corrosion or seal degradation. The data shows a clear, unbroken history of annual testing. A buyer should focus on the braking system during a physical inspection. The records show a recurring pattern of wear, with the 2024 test flagging thin front brake pads and pitted front discs, followed by advisories for both nearside and offside front brake discs in July 2025. While these are consumable items, the repeated mention of pitted or scored discs suggests the vehicle may be subject to environmental exposure or long periods of standing that affect surface finish. Electrical and lighting components also warrant a close check. The history includes multiple faults regarding headlamp aim and levelling devices between August 2023 and March 2026. Although the most recent test passed with no defects, verifying that the headlamp adjustment and the tyre pressure monitoring system function correctly will ensure these previous electrical or sensor issues have been fully resolved.
