2022 Dacia Duster Prestige LPG TCE 4X2 1.0L Gas bi-fuel · WG72 PVT

The most recent MOT test on this Dacia Duster, conducted on 2025-11-18 at 61,581 miles, resulted in a pass despite the record showing a duplicate entry for the same date and mileage—one marked as failed with no defects noted. This anomaly suggests either an administrative error in the DVSA system or a rare oversight in the test process, though no technical faults were identified. The absence of advisories or recurring failures in the single valid pass indicates the vehicle cleared all mandatory checks for brakes, suspension, steering, emissions, and structural integrity at that point. However, the lack of any MOT history prior to this date prevents confirmation of long-term reliability trends. The recorded mileage of 61,581 miles over approximately four years—assuming the vehicle was first registered in 2022—implies an average of 15,395 miles per year , which is unusually high for a vehicle of this age and category. This level of usage suggests accelerated wear on consumable components such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes, as well as potential stress on drivetrain elements like the LPG system and 4x2 drivetrain. There are no intermediate MOT tests or service records to contextualise whether this mileage was consistent or if there were periods of rapid accumulation, which could indicate neglect or heavy usage patterns. Given the sparse MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of critical high-wear areas that are not always captured in a standard MOT. The suspension—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be checked for uneven wear or leaks, as high mileage accelerates degradation. Brake discs and calipers warrant scrutiny for uneven thickness, binding, or excessive corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been driven aggressively. The LPG system, given its age and mileage, should be inspected for leaks, hose integrity, and proper function, while the exhaust system must be examined for rust penetration or cracked components that could compromise structural integrity. Finally, the underbody should be assessed for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and subframes, as this is a common failure point in vehicles of this class.
