AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Dacia Duster presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 July 2025 at 39,789 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken clean run across all three available MOT entries. The mileage pattern sits at typical levels for a six-year-old vehicle. The August 2023 test logged 32,804 miles, rising to 35,423 miles by August 2024 and 39,789 miles by July 2025. That equates to roughly 2,600 to 4,400 miles added per year, well below the national average and pointing to light use. The record shows no gaps or sudden accumulation, though only three tests exist so the early-life history before 2023 is undocumented. A clean sheet across suspension, brakes, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity gives no recurring faults to track. The absence of advisories on worn tyres, corroded subframes, or degraded bushes suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current rather than deferring consumables. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low annual mileage often means long stationary periods that accelerate tyre sidewall cracking, flat spots, and surface corrosion on brake discs and underbody members not visible in a pass result. Verify service stamps match the low-mileage profile and confirm the timing belt interval for the engine variant has been observed.

Our Verdict

This Dacia Duster is a strong candidate for a buyer seeking a straightforward, budget-friendly SUV. With three consecutive clean MOT passes, the vehicle shows a consistent record of compliance with safety standards.

When inspecting this Dacia, focus on the 999cc engine's performance, as this smaller unit works hard to move the Duster's body. Ensure the service history is available to corroborate the MOT data, as MOTs only assess safety at a specific point in time and do not confirm the quality of oil changes or mechanical servicing.

Check the interior trim and electrical features, as Dacia's cost-saving measures can sometimes lead to premature wear on cabin plastics and infotainment systems. Test the clutch and gear changes on a test drive to ensure the transmission is operating smoothly, as these components can be subject to wear on models used for urban driving.

The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, offering competitive fuel economy for a vehicle in this class. Insurance groups for the Duster are generally low, making it an accessible option for a wide range of drivers, though you should verify your specific quote based on your postcode and driving history.

Annual maintenance costs remain manageable due to the availability of parts and the simple construction of the vehicle. You should budget for regular servicing in addition to consumables like tyres and brake pads, which are standard costs for any vehicle of this age and mileage.

While this specific vehicle has a clean MOT record, you should still perform a physical inspection of the common failure points for the Duster model. Check the headlamps for clouding or alignment issues, as these are frequent MOT failure items across the model range. Inspect the windscreen washer system to ensure it operates correctly and provides a clear spray pattern.

Although not flagged on this vehicle, be aware that prop shaft bearings can be a known weak point on Duster models. Listen for any unusual vibrations or noises from underneath the car while driving, and look for any signs of leaks around the suspension components or engine bay during your inspection.

This 2020 Dacia Duster in black has covered 39,789 miles since its first registration in September 2020. The MOT history is notable for having no recorded defects or advisories across its three tests from 2023 to 2025. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, it presents a stable profile for a used car buyer.

The Dacia Duster generally performs in line with industry standards, with a model-wide average MOT pass rate of 79.8%.
