2021 Dacia Duster Essential LPG TCE 4X2 1.0L Gas bi-fuel · HG71 ADX

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with both MOT tests in 2024 and 2025 recording no defects. The most recent 2025 test at 22,960 miles confirmed compliance, indicating no immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or failures across two consecutive annual inspections suggests consistent maintenance, though the sparse data between 2022 and 2024 limits insight into potential intermediate issues. Mileage of 22,960 miles at five years old equates to approximately 4,592 miles annually, significantly lower than average for this age group. This suggests either infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers due to lack of movement. The 4,406-mile increase between the 2024 and 2025 tests—just 10% above the annual average—further implies minimal active usage, raising questions about the vehicle’s exposure to typical wear patterns. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the undercarriage for corrosion, particularly around chassis rails and suspension components, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant conditions. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as infrequent use can lead to seizing. Additionally, verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades, as these are consumables likely to degrade without regular operation. The lack of recorded issues is reassuring, but the mileage profile warrants careful evaluation of long-term storage effects.
