2022 Dacia Duster 1.3L Petrol · DY22 BFV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of inconsistent attention to consumable components. The most recent test on 23 April 2026 at 24,258 miles passed despite advisories for cracking or perishing both the nearside and offside rear tyres. This suggests that while the vehicle is mechanically functional, the rubber components are beginning to degrade due to age or exposure despite the relatively low mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. A significant gap of 5,123 miles occurred between the March 2025 test and the April 2026 test, which reflects a steady usage pattern. The failure on 14 March 2025 at 19,118 miles due to both front tyres being below the legal limit—specifically the offside tyre being bald on the inner edge—indicates the previous owner neglected tyre maintenance until a test failure forced action. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the inner-edge wear noted in the 2025 failure often points to incorrect camber settings or worn bushes and bushings. Given the recent advisories regarding rear tyre perishing, the age of the remaining rubber should be verified to ensure they have not become brittle despite having sufficient tread depth. The record shows no structural corrosion or major mechanical system failures, suggesting the core chassis remains sound if the aforementioned wear items are addressed.
