Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system. The 2024 failure for a corroded offside front brake pipe and the 2025 advisory regarding imbalanced rear brakes indicate that the braking system is a known weak point for this specific vehicle. Ensure that any repairs to the brake pipes were carried out to a professional standard and not merely patched.
Verify the service history regarding the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical maintenance items for the 1.5L diesel engine at this mileage. Additionally, check that the headlamp levelling device is now fully operational, as it was recorded as disconnected during the October 2025 test.
The 1.5L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption for a vehicle of this size. Insurance groups for the Duster are generally low, and road tax is based on the 2013 CO2 emissions brackets for this engine variant.
Maintenance costs are typically lower than for premium SUVs, but at nearly 120,000 miles, you should budget for upcoming wear-and-tear items such as suspension bushings or clutch replacement. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is approximately £1,300-£1,600.
Carefully inspect the brake lines and pipes for signs of corrosion or recent replacements, referencing the September 2024 failure. Test the rear braking efficiency and check for any signs of sticking calipers or worn drums, as the October 2025 MOT noted that the imbalanced requirements were 'only just met'.
Check the headlamps for correct beam aim and ensure the levelling device is functioning correctly, as this vehicle has failed on these points in two consecutive years. Finally, inspect the tyres and coil springs, as these are identified as top failure reasons for this model across aggregate data.
This 2013 Blue Dacia Duster diesel has recorded 119,708 miles. The MOT history shows a trend of initial failures followed by passes in 2024 and 2025, specifically concerning brake pipe corrosion, brake imbalance, and headlamp alignment. It offers a budget-friendly entry into the SUV market, though its mileage is slightly above the model average.
The Duster has an average MOT pass rate of 80.0%, with the most common failures typically related to headlamps, coil springs, and tyres.
