2020 Dacia Duster 1.3L Petrol · SA20 HPZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a maintenance trend that appears stable despite a minor mechanical oversight. The most recent test on October 8, 2025 at 45,339 miles passed, though the tester identified perishing and damage on both the nearside and offside rear tyres. This indicates that while the mechanical components are passing, rubber components are reaching the end of their functional life due to age rather than mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 24,178 miles and October 2025 at 45,339 miles, the car covered over 21,000 miles, showing steady usage patterns. The brief failure in September 2024 at 36,206 miles due to an insecure driver's seat was an isolated safety issue rectified quickly, as evidenced by a pass just four weeks later at the same mileage with no further defects. A buyer should physically inspect the driver's seat mounting to ensure the bolts are properly torqued and the mechanism is not worn. Given the advisory for tyre cracking in the 2025 test, a thorough check of all four tyres for sidewall integrity and age is necessary, as the low mileage suggests the rubber is hardening. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake failures, which suggests the chassis remains in good condition for its age.
