2020 Dacia Duster Essential TCE 4X2 1.0L Petrol · HW70 TCV

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance history. The most recent test conducted on 7 October 2025 at 15,016 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistent string of passes across the last three years indicates that the vehicle has remained in good mechanical condition and has not suffered from recurring structural or safety failures during its operational period. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Between the 2023 test at 10,536 miles and the 2024 test at 12,727 miles, the car covered only 2,191 miles, followed by another 2,289 miles in the subsequent year. This low usage suggests the car was likely used for short trips or kept infrequently, which typically preserves the drivetrain, suspension, and interior compared to high-mileage counterparts. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. A buyer should check brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, which often occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Additionally, inspect the rubber components and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as age affects these materials more than mileage does. Ensuring that the fluids have been changed according to time intervals rather than distance is vital, as low mileage does not negate the chemical degradation of oil and coolant over six years.
