2021 Dacia Duster Essential TCE 4X2 1.0L Petrol · RF21 GZT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on 23 June 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner demonstrates a willingness to rectify failures immediately upon testing. While the most recent test failed at 60,407 miles due to insufficient tread depth on both front tyres and a defected offside rear position lamp, these issues were addressed to achieve a pass shortly thereafter. This suggests a reactive but functional approach to upkeep rather than chronic neglect. At over 60,000 miles, the Duster has averaged approximately 12,000 miles per year, which sits slightly above the national average for a passenger car. The mileage accumulation is consistent across intervals, with 12,403 miles covered between June 2024 and June 2025, and another 12,559 miles between June 2025 and June 2026. This regular usage pattern indicates the vehicle has been used for consistent commuting, which often prevents the internal component issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front end, as the June 2026 failure indicates the front tyres were worn to the legal limit. This warrants a check for uneven wear patterns which could signal alignment issues or worn suspension bushes and shock absorbers. Additionally, the June 2024 failure regarding headlamp aim suggests a minor adjustment issue or a loose mounting, which should be verified for stability. Since there are no advisories for structural corrosion or brake binding recorded in the history, the primary concerns remain the standard wear of consumables associated with a higher-mileage Dacia.
