2022 Dacia Duster Prestige TCE 4X2 Auto 1.3L Petrol · PL22 FVG

The vehicle presents a clean bill of health on paper. The most recent MOT, conducted on 4 August 2025 at 14,272 miles, passed with zero defects or advisories recorded. This indicates the vehicle met all UK roadworthiness standards at that exact point in time. The maintenance trend is currently stable, though the dataset is limited to a single recorded test, making it difficult to establish a long-term pattern of care. At roughly four years old, the recorded mileage of 14,272 miles equates to an average of approximately 3,568 miles per year. This is notably low for a vehicle of this age. Such low annual mileage can suggest light urban use or extended periods of inactivity. The MOT history is sparse, with only the single August 2025 entry available for analysis, leaving the earlier service life unaccounted for in the official record. A clean MOT record is reassuring but does not guarantee underlying mechanical perfection, particularly on a compact SUV. Prospective buyers should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. Pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from sidewall cracking or uneven tread wear due to prolonged standing or infrequent rotation. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly around the flexi-joint and mounting points, which can degrade even on low-mileage cars exposed to short, cold journeys. Suspension components, including the front lower arms and rear torsion beam bushes, should be checked for perishing. Low mileage does not prevent rubber from deteriorating with age. The braking system requires a close look at the discs and calipers; infrequent use can lead to surface corrosion on the discs and sticking calipers, which a standard MOT road test might not fully expose. Finally, verify the structural integrity of the underbody and subframes, looking for any signs of scaling or surface rust that could compromise long-term durability.
