2019 Dacia Duster 1.3L Petrol · CE69 FCF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 27 August 2026, following a consistent history of passing since 2022. While the overall maintenance trend is stable in terms of passing the test, there is a clear and recurring pattern of advisories regarding consumable wear. The frequency of advisories related to brake disc condition and tyre wear has increased in the most recent two years, indicating that while the vehicle is being kept roadworthy, it is entering a period where significant wear on braking and tyre components is becoming imminent. The recorded mileage of 46,689 miles over a seven-year period equates to approximately 6,670 miles per year, which represents relatively low to moderate usage for this type of vehicle. This mileage profile is generally positive as it suggests less overall mechanical stress on the drivetrain and engine compared to higher-mileage examples. However, the lower annual mileage can occasionally contribute to the specific issues noted in the MOT history, such as brake disc pitting caused by infrequent or light braking, which prevents the discs from being effectively cleaned by regular friction. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the recurring advisories regarding the front brake discs and the nearside front tyre. The mention of discs being pitted or scored suggests that the braking surface is no longer smooth, which can lead to reduced stopping efficiency and increased noise. During a test drive, you should listen for any grinding or squealing sounds when applying the brakes and feel for any vibration through the brake pedal or steering wheel, which could indicate warped discs. Furthermore, the nearside front tyre has been flagged for edge wear over multiple years, which is a strong indicator of potential suspension or alignment issues. You should inspect the tyre for uneven wear across the tread and check for any signs of worn suspension bushes or incorrect camber that might be causing this premature degradation. Immediate capital expenditure should be anticipated for the replacement of the front tyres and the front brake disc and pad assembly. Since the nearside tyre is already recorded at 2mm, it is very close to the legal limit and requires urgent replacement. I recommend that any new tyres are fitted alongside a professional four-wheel alignment to prevent a repeat of the edge wear noted in the MOT history. Additionally, given the long-standing advisories regarding the brake discs, you should verify if a full brake service has been performed recently; if not, you should budget for new discs and pads to ensure the vehicle's braking performance is restored to a safe and optimal standard.
