2021 Dacia Duster 1.3L Petrol · GY21 ACV

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on March 5, 2026 at 18,039 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend over the last three years, suggesting that the vehicle has operated within normal parameters without any mechanical or structural failures being flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per annum. Between the 2024 test at 8,689 miles and the 2025 test at 14,898 miles, the car covered 6,209 miles, followed by only 3,141 miles leading up to the March 2026 test. This low usage suggests short-distance urban driving, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and brake components compared to high-mileage counterparts. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults or advisories, a physical inspection should focus on risks associated with low-use vehicles. You should check for surface corrosion on brake discs and calipers, which often occurs when a car sits for long periods without being driven. Inspect the tyres for flat-spots or cracking, as rubber compounds can degrade over time regardless of tread depth. Ensure the service history reflects annual intervals rather than mileage, as low mileage does not negate the need for regular oil and fluid changes.
