2021 Dacia Duster Prestige LPG TCE 4X2 1.0L Gas bi-fuel · RV21 XJM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive servicing. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 26,647 miles, it failed immediately prior due to a non-functional headlamp and obstructed view through the windscreen. The recurring failure to rectify worn brake discs and perishing tyres across multiple testing cycles suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they cause an MOT failure rather than during routine maintenance intervals. At five years old, the recorded mileage of 26,647 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,300 miles. This low usage pattern is evident between the March 2024 test at 15,086 miles and the March 2025 test at 21,534 miles, showing a gap of just over 6,000 miles. However, low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the cracking and perishing of the rear tyres noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the front discs and pads have been flagged as worn in every test since 2025. The persistent mention of worn discs despite low mileage indicates either seized calipers or a failure to replace components simultaneously during pad changes. Additionally, a physical inspection must verify the condition of the rear tyres to ensure the perishing has not progressed and check the windscreen wiper linkage, as these have been repeated points of failure in the last two years.
