2020 Dacia Duster SE Twenty TCE 4X2 1.3L Petrol · FL70 ATN

The Dacia Duster presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 August 2025 at 31,642 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also returned passes. The only blemish is a failed test on 21 August 2024 at 26,329 miles that the DVSA log shows with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass on 22 August 2024 at the same mileage. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the pattern since shows no worsening condition. The mileage record reflects light use for a six-year-old vehicle. From the 17 August 2023 test at 19,072 miles to the 22 August 2024 test at 26,329 miles the car covered 7,257 miles, then only 5,313 miles to the 9 August 2025 test at 31,642 miles, averaging roughly 5,274 miles per year. The data is sparse and clean, with no advisories or consumable wear flags such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes noted at any stage. Low annual coverage implies the car spent periods standing, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the vehicle. The MOT history flags no structural integrity issues, exhaust emissions failures, or binding calipers, but the 2024 same-day fail-pass with zero defects warrants confirmation the VIN and test documentation are consistent. Given the low mileage and clean record, focus the viewing on underbody corrosion, condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, and evidence of fluid leaks from drivetrain seals that a stationary car can hide. No recurring mechanical faults appear across the four-year record, so previous ownership appears to have kept basic upkeep current. The absence of advisories at 31,642 miles is favourable for a 2020 model, though the sparse entry set limits deep judgement on wear trends. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to validate the DVSA data against the physical vehicle.
