2020 Dacia Duster SE Twenty TCE 4X2 1.3L Petrol · LV70 LUO

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health as of the most recent MOT on 25 March 2026 at 65,700 miles, where the tester recorded zero defects. This marks a clear improvement from the October 2024 failure at 61,385 miles, where multiple braking and lighting faults were flagged. The maintenance trend is currently stable and resolving, with the previous owner addressing the worn offside front brake disc, thin brake pads, and headlamp aim issues before the 2025 and 2026 passes. No recurring defects have reappeared in the last two consecutive annual tests. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a six-year-old vehicle. Between the September 2023 test at 30,606 miles and the October 2024 test at 61,385 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 30,779 miles in just over twelve months, indicating a period of heavier use or motorway commuting. Since then, the pace has slowed considerably, with only 4,315 miles added between October 2024 and March 2026. The overall annual average of roughly 10,950 miles sits within the typical range for this age bracket, and the MOT record itself is complete with no gaps in annual testing. A buyer should still carry out a focused physical inspection despite the clean recent pass. The October 2024 failure flagged a worn and pitted offside front brake disc alongside brake pads below 1.5 mm, which suggests the front braking components endured a period of aggressive or neglected use. Inspect the condition of the front brake discs, pads, and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and check whether the offside headlamp levelling device operates correctly from the driver's seat. The nearside front tyre wear noted in September 2023 at 30,606 miles points to possible tracking or suspension bush wear, so examine the inner tyre sidewalls and front suspension components for play or deterioration. Given the vehicle's age and the period of high-mileage use, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, remains advisable.
