2020 Dacia Duster 1.3L Petrol · DV20 XCC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 33,786 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the car passed the 2025 test without defects, the 2026 advisories regarding uneven tyre wear on both front corners indicate that basic consumable maintenance is only being addressed once components approach the legal limit. At 33,786 miles, the Duster reflects a low annual mileage, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less strain on the engine and suspension components. However, the data shows a significant jump in usage between June 2023 and June 2024, where the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles in a single year. This period of activity coincides with the April 2025 failure involving multiple washer fluid and headlamp adjustment issues, suggesting the vehicle was perhaps neglected during that period of higher use. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry specifically, as the April 2026 test flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the limit and showing edge wear. This pattern often points to alignment issues or worn suspension bushes rather than simple mileage-based wear. Additionally, the electronic headlamp leveling device and internal adjuster which failed in 2025 should be verified in person to ensure the components were properly repaired and are not prone to intermittent electrical failure.
