DACIA DUSTER COMFORT TCE 4X22020 · 1.0L Petrol

The 2020 Dacia Duster currently presents a stable mechanical condition based on the most recent MOT data. On 3 May 2024 at 8,142 miles, the vehicle passed its MOT with zero defects recorded. Curiously, the preceding test on 2 May 2024 at 8,082 miles resulted in a failure, yet no specific defects were documented for that attempt. This anomaly suggests an administrative issue, an abandoned test, or a rectification of a minor pre-test fault rather than a recurring mechanical failure. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle meeting all required roadworthiness standards at the last inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. At roughly six years old, the odometer reads just 8,142 miles, equating to an average of approximately 1,357 miles annually. The recorded history shows a mere 60 miles covered between the failed test on 2 May 2024 and the pass on 3 May 2024. Notably, the supplied records lack any MOT entries from the vehicle's first three years, meaning the bulk of its early lifecycle and any potential wear during that period remains undocumented in this specific dataset. Given the extremely low mileage, a buyer must inspect for the specific ailments caused by prolonged standing rather than active use. Tyres will likely suffer from flat-spotting and perishing of the sidewalls due to age rather than tread wear. Brake discs may exhibit surface corrosion from lack of regular use, potentially causing binding or juddering upon the first application. Suspension components, particularly bushes and shock absorbers, can deteriorate from sitting in a loaded state. A thorough underbody inspection is essential to check for structural corrosion on the exhaust system and chassis, as short, infrequent journeys prevent moisture from evaporating, accelerating rust formation.
