2020 Dacia Duster 1.0L Petrol · LS70 TXU

The 2026‑01‑21 MOT at 66,970 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the Dacia Duster is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has stabilised after earlier corrective work. Mileage accumulation has been steady and progressive: the 2023 test covered 18,323 miles, the 2024 test rose to 31,366 miles (an increase of 13,043 miles in one year), the 2025 test reached 47,807 miles (16,441 miles added), and the 2026 test arrived at 66,970 miles (19,163 miles added), indicating consistent usage rather than prolonged standing periods. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring tyre defects – the offside front and rear tyres have repeatedly shown cuts that approach the ply, and the offside front outer tyre exhibits side‑wall damage – which may signal inadequate tyre maintenance or potential structural damage to the wheel arches; the front brake discs were noted as worn, pitted and scored in both 2024 and 2025, with pads at 80 % wear, suggesting the braking system requires thorough inspection, pad replacement and assessment of disc condition. Finally, the chassis and suspension components, particularly the suspension bushes and coil springs, should be examined for wear or corrosion, and any signs of structural rust on the body panels or underbody must be verified, as these areas were not explicitly addressed in the MOT records but are common failure points on vehicles of this age and mileage.
