Just playbin with the uri property set to the location of the MPD file.

But the DASH support in 0.10 was really minimal, and even in 1.x with x
< 5 it wasn't great. Really use 1.5.90 or newer if you need DASH
support.

You basically need to make your 0.10 version equivalent to 1.x for
that. It involves changes to various plugins, including dashdemux,
souphttpsrc, decodebin, playbin, multiqueue, changes to various base
classes including new API, and lots of new API that is needed for these
in GStreamer core (pad probes for example).
Additionally you need various bugfixes all over the place.

I don't think it's feasible to backport, it will be less work to port
whatever you're doing to 1.x.
