2020 Dacia Duster 1.3L Petrol · BG70 FME

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on April 28, 2026, at 35,904 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the most recent failure involved only headlamp alignment issues, which were rectified immediately to achieve a pass. This suggests the owner is responsive to safety-related testing failures, though the lack of any recorded defects in the latest test indicates a clean mechanical state at that moment. At approximately six years old, the recorded mileage of 35,904 miles is low, averaging roughly 6,000 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less strain on the drivetrain and suspension compared to average vehicles. However, the gap between the September 2024 test at 23,030 miles and the April 2025 test at 25,950 miles shows a period of lower activity, which in older mileage cars can sometimes lead to brake disc corrosion or flat spotting if the vehicle sits for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection. The April 2025 test flagged imbalanced rear brakes across the axle and noted demin wear on the front brake discs. While these were passed in the subsequent year, the buyer must verify that the calipers are not seizing and that the handbrake remains effective and even. Additionally, because the 2024 advisory noted that engine covers and undertrays obstructed a full inspection, a thorough visual check is necessary to ensure there are no hidden fluid leaks or structural corrosion that the tester might have missed due to limited access.
