2020 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · C8 CRN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 58,696 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in preventative care standards compared to the clean record seen in the previous year. The tester identified a corroded nearside brake pipe at the front-rear bulkhead, which was obscured by grease or other material, suggesting a potential attempt to mask corrosion or simply poor cleaning prior to the inspection. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. The car covered 9,916 miles between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, followed by another 12,500 miles in the thirteen-month period leading to the December 2025 test. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has been used regularly, which generally helps prevent internal components from seizing or seals drying out from long periods of standing. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the corrosion on the nearside brake pipe is not indicative of wider structural degradation along the chassis. The 2023 advisory at 36,280 miles regarding a nearside front tyre worn to the limit and on the edge suggests previous alignment issues or neglected suspension maintenance. Attention should be paid to the current state of the suspension bushes and any further uneven wear on the remaining tyres to confirm that these geometry faults have not been rectified.
