Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Dacia Duster Prestige Tce 4x2 Auto?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Dacia Duster Prestige Tce 4x2 Auto?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Dacia Duster Prestige Tce 4x2 Auto?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Based on MOT data from 1,136 vehicles, the 2022 Dacia Duster Prestige Tce 4x2 Auto has a first-time MOT pass rate of 94.6%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Dacia Duster Prestige Tce 4x2 Auto?
