2019 Dacia Duster 1.3L Petrol · BE11 ABR

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following the June 2026 test at 41,130 miles, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening regarding consumable wear. While the vehicle passed, the tester flagged multiple advisories concerning the nearside front tyre perishing and the offside front tyre reaching the legal limit. The record also notes thinning brake linings and pads on the front axle. These advisories indicate that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, immediate investment in tyres and a front brake service will be required to maintain safety standards. The mileage pattern suggests relatively light use for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,876 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase in usage, with 12,896 miles covered between the May 2025 test and the June 2026 test. This recent jump represents a significant increase compared to the previous years, where annual mileage was much lower. This shift from low-use to higher-intensity driving may explain the sudden appearance of multiple tyre and brake wear advisories in the most recent inspection. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system and the condition of all four tyres. The history shows a recurring pattern of tyre issues, including a structural bulge on the offside rear tyre in May 2025 and edge wear on multiple occasions since 2022. This suggests the vehicle may experience uneven tyre wear, potentially due to alignment issues or suspension component wear. The tester's notes regarding perishing rubber on the nearside front tyre also imply the vehicle may spend periods stationary, which can lead to sidewall degradation. The headlight adjustments required in both May 2025 and May 2024 suggest the lighting alignment is a known point of failure. While these were resolved to achieve a pass, the buyer should check that the headlamp units are securely mounted and that the beam pattern remains stable during operation. Beyond these consumable items, the lack of structural corrosion or suspension defects in the records provides a positive indication of the vehicle's underlying integrity.
