2023 Dacia Duster 1.5L Diesel · SJ72 OLP

The most recent MOT, carried out on 15 January 2026 at 32 398 miles, resulted in a pass but noted an advisory that the nearside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit and showed edge wear. This is the only defect recorded in the supplied history, so there is no evidence of a recurring mechanical pattern beyond this single tyre concern. With only one MOT entry available, it is not possible to determine whether the vehicle’s condition is worsening, stable, or improving over time. The mileage of roughly 32 400 miles for a three‑year‑old Duster corresponds to about 10 800 miles per year, which is within the typical range for its age. Because the mileage figure is typical, it does not clearly indicate either light use with long standing periods or heavy use that would accelerate wear on consumables, suspension, brakes or drivetrain components; the mileage signal is therefore ambiguous. Given the limited history, the primary risk highlighted by the MOT is the state of the nearside rear tyre, specifically its tread depth and edge wear, which could affect grip and handling, especially in wet conditions. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of that tyre, measuring tread depth across the width and looking for uneven wear patterns that might suggest alignment or suspension issues. In addition, the overall tyre set should be checked for similar wear, the wheel alignment inspected, and the rear suspension components (such as bushings and shock absorbers) examined for excess play or damage. Finally, a brief check of the braking system on that axle is advisable to ensure the tyre wear has not been accompanied by brake‑disc or pad deterioration.
