2021 Dacia Duster Prestige LPG TCE 4X2 1.0L Gas bi-fuel · PK71 HVO

The vehicle presents a stable mechanical trend, passing its most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 at 60,754 miles with only a minor defect. The tester flagged a defective Nearside Front Windscreen wiper blade, a basic consumable failure that does not reflect underlying mechanical neglect. Prior tests on 21 May 2025 at 46,520 miles and 24 May 2024 at 36,182 miles passed without any defects, indicating consistent roadworthiness and no escalating structural or mechanical deterioration over the recorded period. Accumulating 60,754 miles over five years equates to roughly 12,151 miles annually, a figure slightly above the national average but entirely reasonable for this platform. The mileage progression shows steady utilisation, jumping 10,338 miles between May 2024 and May 2025, and a further 14,234 miles by May 2026. This recent acceleration in usage suggests the vehicle has been actively driven rather than left standing for long periods, which typically benefits engine and drivetrain health by preventing moisture buildup and seizing components. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on the LPG system and general underbody condition, as the history lacks specific details on these areas. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion, paying close attention to the LPG reducer and associated pipework, which can suffer from heat cycling damage. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, given the high mileage accumulation over the last twelve months. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, as high-mileage use can accelerate component fatigue. Verify the structural integrity of the subframes and sills for corrosion, a common concern for off-road-oriented vehicles, even if the tester found no cause for rejection.
