2021 Dacia Duster Comfort LPG TCE 4X2 1.0L Gas bi-fuel · YN21 RMD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 71,976 miles resulted in a pass but introduced new advisories that were not present during the previous year. The presence of oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber and a nail in the tyre indicates that the vehicle is beginning to require attention on suspension and consumable components. The vehicle covers a significant mileage for its age, averaging approximately 14,400 miles per year. Between the August 2024 test at 48,859 miles and the August 2025 test, the Duster covered over 23,000 miles in just twelve months. This consistent high-mileage suggests regular motorway use, which typically places specific stress patterns on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to short-distance city driving. A physical inspection should focus on the nearside front suspension to determine if the oil misting has progressed to a seal failure requiring immediate replacement. The tester also flagged a nail in the nearside tyre, which must be checked to ensure no structural damage has compromised the integrity of the sidewall. Given the rapid mileage accumulation, the buyer should also verify the condition of the brake pads and discs for signs of accelerated wear, as these components often reach the end of their service life around the 70,000-mile mark.
