Our Verdict
A solid, low-mileage choice for those seeking a practical SUV. While the most recent MOT failed on minor maintenance items, these are easily rectified and do not suggest systemic mechanical failure.
When viewing this EK22OAE registered Duster, first verify that the issues from the May 2026 MOT—specifically the nearside front tyre and the offside front indicator—have been professionally rectified. Ask for the receipts for these repairs to ensure the vehicle is now roadworthy.
Check the service history to ensure the 1.3L petrol engine has been maintained according to Dacia's schedules. As this is a 2022 model, it should still be in a period where maintenance is straightforward, but a full service record will provide peace of mind regarding the long-term health of the engine.
The 1333cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency and falls under Euro 6AP standards, meaning it is compliant with ULEZ and other clean air zones. Insurance groups for the Duster are typically modest, keeping fixed annual costs low.
Maintenance costs for Dacia are generally among the lowest in the SUV segment. Between the fuel-efficient small-capacity engine and the low tax band associated with this year of registration, the vehicle is an economical choice for daily commuting.
Focus your inspection on the tyres and lighting. The May 2026 MOT failure specifically highlighted a nearside front tyre with tread depth below 1.6mm; check all four tyres to see if the others are similarly worn, which could indicate a need for a full set.
Inspect the exterior orange paintwork for any scratches or dents, and test all indicator bulbs to ensure the offside front failure has been resolved. Finally, check the interior for wear consistent with its 21,494 miles, as the cabin materials in Dusters are functional but can show wear if not cared for.
This 2022 Orange Dacia Duster is a relatively young example with a total of 21,494 miles recorded as of May 2026. Its history shows a clean pass in 2025 and a recent 2026 failure based on simple wear-and-tear items. Given the low mileage and Euro 6AP status, it represents a cost-effective and compliant urban and rural vehicle.
The Dacia Duster is generally regarded as a robust and uncomplicated vehicle, though specific aggregate data for this exact variant is not available.
