What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (6.0%) and visibility (4.3%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are tread depth, wipers and stop lamp — tread depth alone was recorded 25 times.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 23.1% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

What to check before buying a 2022 Duster Comfort Lpg Tce 4X2
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: tyres accounted for 6.0% of tests. Start there.
- Tyres (6.0% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Visibility (4.3% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
- Lighting & signalling (4.3% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
