2022 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · BV22 PPY

A generally stable roadworthiness record is evident, although the most recent testing cycle in January 2026 was marked by a failure concerning the headlamp levelling system. While the vehicle ultimately passed on 8 January 2026, the record shows a transition from a completely clean test in early 2025 to one now containing specific advisories regarding the rear tyres. The recorded mileage of 35,062 miles over approximately four years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 8,766 miles. This usage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age, suggesting a consistent application of the drivetrain and suspension components without the extreme wear associated with high-mileage use or the potential degradation seen in vehicles left stationary for extended periods. Attention should be directed toward the rear tyres, as both the nearside and offside rear units were flagged for cracking or perishing during the January 2026 inspection. A physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls is necessary to identify visible weather-checking or surface degradation that could compromise the structural integrity of the rubber. Verification of the headlamp levelling system is required to ensure the repairs following the January 2026 failure were carried out effectively. During a stationary check, the buyer should operate the levelling controls to confirm the beam height adjusts correctly on both the nearside and offside front lamps, ensuring there is no intermittent failure or mechanical binding in the adjustment mechanism.
