2020 Dacia Duster 1.0L Petrol · SD20 KVG

The vehicle presents a stable but wear-heavy maintenance profile. The most recent MOT test on 26 June 2026 at 56,363 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged worn, pitted, or scored front brake discs alongside thin brake pads. This indicates that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, the braking system is entering a phase of necessary component replacement rather than just consumable pad changes. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical UK usage for a six-year-old vehicle. The car covered 18,200 miles between June 2023 and June 2024, followed by 14,670 miles in the following year, and approximately 16,611 miles in the most recent period. This steady progression of roughly 9,400 miles per year suggests regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. The data shows no significant gaps in testing, with annual inspections maintained consistently since 2023. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the front braking assembly. The records show a recurring trend of thinning brake pads, first noted as an advisory in June 2025 at 39,752 miles and escalating to scored discs by June 2026. This pattern suggests the owner may be delaying brake servicing until components reach the limit of their service life. It is advisable to check the thickness of the pads and the surface condition of the discs to ensure they are not nearing the minimum legal thickness. The 2024 test at 25,082 miles noted a front tyre worn close to the legal limit, which implies a pattern of running consumables toward their end-of-life. While no structural issues or suspension defects have appeared in the history, the repeated focus on brakes and tyres suggests the vehicle is maintained on a reactive basis. A thorough check of the tyre tread depth and the condition of the suspension bushes would be prudent to ensure no underlying alignment issues contributed to the previous tyre wear.
