2021 Dacia Duster 1.0L Petrol · AV71 LSU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in October 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the transition from a clean sheet in 2024 to advisory notices in 2025 indicates a shift in consumable requirements. While the car passed without mechanical failures, the emergence of tyre wear suggests that certain components now require attention to prevent future MOT failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,888 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 10,347 miles and the 2025 test at 14,442 miles, the car covered only 4,095 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used for short trips or sat for extended periods, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and flat-spotting despite the low overall mileage. A buyer should specifically inspect the front axle to address the uneven wear noted in the October 2025 test. Both the nearside and offside front tyres showed significant edge wear, which often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes rather than simple mileage-. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as infrequently used vehicles often suffer from surface rust on the rotors that can affect braking performance.
