2022 Dacia Duster Comfort TCE 4X2 Auto 1.3L Petrol · YE72 OTJ

An exceptionally low usage profile defines this vehicle, which has maintained a clean roadworthiness record with no recorded defects across its most recent inspections, including the latest pass on 09 September 2026. The absence of any advisories or failures in the 2025 and 2026 tests indicates that the components inspected during these sessions met the required standards without any noted deterioration in braking, steering, or structural integrity. The recorded mileage of 2,984 miles over a four-year period represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 746 miles, which is significantly lower than standard UK driving patterns. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on mechanical consumables such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes, such infrequent use can sometimes lead to components being subjected to longer periods of inactivity. From a mechanical standpoint, this usage pattern means that while the drivetrain and chassis components may have low physical wear, the vehicle has not been regularly cycled through its operational temperature ranges or subjected to the typical friction-based cleaning of braking surfaces. Given the lack of specific defects or advisories in the DVSA history, there are no documented mechanical faults to investigate. However, because the vehicle has covered such minimal distance, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the operation of the automatic transmission and the smoothness of the engine idle during a test drive to ensure the systems have remained responsive despite the low usage. It is also advisable to check for any signs of uneven tyre wear or slight vibrations at cruising speeds, which can occasionally occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently. During the test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension or steering assembly when navigating uneven surfaces, as even low-mileage vehicles can develop minor issues if they have been stationary for extended periods. Check the brake pedal feel for any sponginess or inconsistency, and ensure the vehicle stops straight without any pulling to one side. Since the MOT records show no history of oil misting or fluid leaks, the engine bay should be inspected visually for any signs of dried residue that might indicate a slow weep from gaskets or seals due to the low frequency of engine heat cycles.
