Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a relatively recent, low-mileage SUV. The MOT history shows no recorded defects across three tests, making it a statistically stable option.
When inspecting this 1.3L petrol Duster, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record, as the MOT only confirms basic safety and environmental compliance. Check that all electronic components, particularly the headlamps and windscreen washers, are functioning perfectly, as these are common failure points for this model type according to aggregate data.
Negotiate based on the vehicle's age and mileage; while the records are clean, ensure you check for any signs of wear on the interior or exterior that might not be captured in a standard MOT. Ask for documentation regarding the last service to ensure the 1.3L engine has been maintained according to manufacturer schedules.
The 1330cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a mid-range insurance group, making it relatively affordable for families. Fuel economy for this model is typically efficient for a compact SUV, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for Dacia models are traditionally lower than many competitors due to the brand's focus on simplicity. You should budget for standard consumables like tyres and brakes, keeping in mind that the model's aggregate data suggests potential future attention might be needed for items like prop shaft bearings or washer systems.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the headlamp alignment and the functionality of the windscreen washer system, as these are frequent failure reasons in the wider Dacia Duster population. While this specific vehicle has no recorded defects, these are common wear items.
Additionally, listen for any unusual noises from the underside of the vehicle during a test drive, which could indicate issues with the prop shaft bearing—a noted failure point for this model. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are standard inspection points for a vehicle approaching its fifth year of life.
This 2021 Dacia Duster, finished in Orange, has covered 17,465 miles since its first registration in March 2021. The MOT history is notable for having zero defects recorded across its three tests in 2024 and 2025. Given the model's average annual mileage is 7,817, this specific vehicle's usage is slightly below the typical pattern for its age.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.8%, with common issues involving headlamps, washers, and prop shaft bearings.
