2018 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · LC68 FHN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of deferred attention regarding consumable components. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 65,530 miles passed, it flagged pitting and scoring on both front brake discs alongside a defective wiper blade. This follows a pattern seen in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that the owner tends to address faults only when they reach MOT thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. There is a steady progression of roughly 5,000 miles between annual tests, which indicates the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods. The gap between the December 2022 test at 42,481 miles and the December 2023 test shows normal usage, though the initial failure in 2022 for headlamp aim was rectified immediately for the subsequent pass. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking system. The repeated mentions of worn and pitted brake discs from 2023 through 2025 indicate the discs are nearing the end of their service life and likely require replacement alongside the pads. Additionally, the recurring edge wear on the nearside front and rear tyres noted in 2024 and 2023 suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent further premature tyre degradation.
