2021 Dacia Duster Comfort LPG TCE 4X2 1.0L Gas bi-fuel · DU21 ABO

The vehicle presents a worsening maintenance trend based on the most recent MOT results. While the January 2024 test at 34,901 miles showed no defects, the subsequent tests reveal a decline in basic upkeep. The January 2025 inspection flagged multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit, and the most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 63,408 miles resulted in an initial failure. This failure included electrical issues with the TPMS light and headlamp aim, a defective windscreen wiper, and a nearside front tyre with a cut reaching the cords. Although the vehicle passed on the second attempt that same day, the variety of defects suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. The mileage accumulation is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,682 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 14,321 miles, and between January 2025 and January 2026, it covered 14,286 miles. This consistent, heavy usage explains the rapid wear on consumable components. The high annual mileage increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain components, which should be closely monitored given the current trajectory of reported defects. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the lighting systems and electrical components to ensure the headlamp aim and TPMS issues are fully resolved. The recurring tyre issues, specifically the edge wear noted in 2025 and the structural cut in 2026, indicate a need to check the wheel alignment and suspension geometry. Misalignment often causes the uneven tyre wear seen in these records. Finally, inspect the windscreen wiper assembly and the condition of the rear registration plate to ensure all recent advisory items have been addressed with quality parts.
