2020 Dacia Duster 1.3L Petrol · FH69 WYL

The 2020 Dacia Duster presents a highly stable and exemplary maintenance trend, confirmed by a flawless MOT record. The most recent examination on 1 December 2025 at 29,836 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects, mirroring the outcome of the preceding three tests. This unbroken chain of clean certificates indicates a vehicle that has required no corrective mechanical or structural interventions to meet roadworthiness standards. The recorded mileage of 29,836 miles over six years equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 4,973 miles, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Analyzing the chronological progression reveals a gradual decline in annual usage. The unit covered 6,330 miles between the January 2023 test at 15,574 miles and the January 2024 test at 21,904 miles. This dropped to 4,211 miles over the following twelve months, and further decreased to 3,721 miles between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests. Such low, declining mileage suggests prolonged periods of standing, which demands specific attention to perishable components and fluid degradation rather than high-mileage mechanical wear. Despite the absence of flagged advisories or recurring faults in the DVSA record, the low-utilization profile of this Duster warrants a focused physical inspection. Extended stationary periods can cause flat-spotting on tyres and deterioration of rubber suspension bushes and seals. A buyer should closely examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking and assess the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for premature perishing. Brake discs should also be inspected for surface corrosion, a common issue with vehicles that cover short, infrequent trips, as regular use is required to keep the friction surfaces clear. While the structural integrity appears sound based on the test history, checking the exhaust system and underbody for corrosion remains prudent given the vehicle's age and usage pattern.
