Our Verdict
Caution advised due to recent MOT failures, but the Duster's reputation for reliability and low running costs may offset some concerns.
Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection focusing on the braking system, tyres, and headlamp alignment. Verify service records to confirm repairs were completed, particularly the brake fluid level and hydraulic reservoir cap issues. Negotiate a lower price to account for the recent MOT failures. Be cautious of potential hidden costs from repeated tyre replacements and brake maintenance. Check for a full service history to ensure the vehicle has been well-maintained despite the MOT issues.
Diesel fuel economy for the 1.5L engine is modest, with typical combined figures around 40-45 mpg. Road tax in 2026 would be £140 annually for diesel vehicles. Insurance group is likely mid-range for a compact SUV. Maintenance costs may rise due to the brake and tyre issues, with average annual servicing around £200-£300. Estimated total annual running cost: £1,000-£1,200.
Inspect the front tyres for uneven wear and check if they've been replaced recently. Test the brake system for leaks or low fluid levels, and confirm the hydraulic reservoir cap is present. Examine the headlamp alignment using a proper tester. Check the front registration plate for durability and ensure no debris is causing visibility issues. Look for signs of corrosion or damage around the brake components and suspension.
This 2018 Dacia Duster has a mixed MOT history with recurring issues including tyre wear, brake system faults, and headlamp alignment. Mileage of 89,912 miles is above average for an 8-year-old vehicle, though no model-specific reliability data is available. Recent failures highlight potential maintenance risks, but the car has passed some inspections.
No aggregate data available for the Dacia Duster, but the model is generally regarded as reliable with low running costs.
