2020 Dacia Duster SE Twenty TCE 4X2 1.3L Petrol · LF70 CPX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on May 6, 2026, 42,829 miles. While it failed that same day due to incorrect nearside front headlamp aim, the defect was rectified immediately to secure a pass. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed its inspections without major structural or recurring mechanical failures over the last three years of testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical light-use residential driving, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 9,403 miles in May 2023 to 19,539 miles in May 2024, followed by a larger jump to 30,444 miles by May 2025. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to neglect through long periods of standing, which generally benefits the mechanical health of the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage fleet vehicles. A buyer should pay close attention to the front braking system. The May 2025 test at 30,444 miles flagged both nearside and offside front brake discs as worn. Although they were not considered excessive at that time, these components are likely nearing the end of their service life. A physical inspection should verify the current thickness of the discs and the condition of the brake pads to ensure no immediate replacement is required. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding a tyre with cracking or perishing in the centre tread indicates the rubber may be aging despite the relatively low mileage, so all tyres should be checked for sidewall integrity and dry rot to prevent structural failure.
