2020 Dacia Duster 1.0L Petrol · EO70 HNP

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-21 recorded a single defect: a defective nearside front windscreen wiper blade, classified under 3.4 (b) (i). This is a minor issue, likely requiring replacement rather than repair, and does not indicate broader mechanical concerns. The vehicle passed with no other defects, and previous MOTs from 2024-09-02 (19,427 miles) and 2023-09-04 (13,018 miles) showed no recorded issues. The defect history shows a stable pattern, with no recurring or escalating problems. The single wiper blade failure is isolated and does not suggest systemic wear or neglect. However, the absence of defects in earlier tests does not guarantee future reliability, as some issues may emerge outside of MOT requirements, such as gradual component degradation. The vehicle’s mileage of 30,754 miles over six years equates to roughly 5,126 miles per year, which is below the average for its age. This low mileage could indicate light use or periods of inactivity, which might lead to dry joints, battery degradation, or fluid stagnation. However, the MOT history does not provide evidence of such issues, so this remains a speculative consideration. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the windscreen wiper system for proper function and visible wear.
