2020 Dacia Duster SE Twenty TCE 4X2 1.3L Petrol · KM20 AEC

The Dacia Duster presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 25,629 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the preceding pass on 25 February 2025 at 21,731 miles also showed a clean sheet. The single failure logged on 25 February 2025 at the same mileage and odometer reading carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Across five years of testing from 17 February 2023 to March 2026, the vehicle has avoided any advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The recorded mileage reflects light use for a six-year-old vehicle. It covered 11,890 miles by February 2023, rose to 18,422 miles by March 2024, then 21,731 miles by February 2025, reaching 25,629 miles by March 2026. That averages roughly 4,272 miles per year. The gaps between tests show no rapid accumulation or sudden jumps; the owner kept annual coverage consistent. Low annual mileage of this order often means longer periods standing, which can allow tyres to develop flat spots and brake calipers to seize through lack of use rather than wear. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person despite the clean record. The absence of advisories does not rule out early-age corrosion on structural members or degraded rubber components hidden by short test drives. Check the front coil springs and suspension arms for cracking, and confirm the rear brakes are not binding after storage. Examine the exhaust for internal rot not visible at test. Given the 2025 failure with no defects noted, verify with the seller what triggered the rejection and that the same-day pass resolved it correctly. The low mileage suggests gentle ownership, but standing time demands a close look at perishable items like tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition before purchase.
