Our Verdict
The 2018 Dacia Duster HT67FXA shows mixed reliability signs, with recent MOT failures indicating potential maintenance risks. While its low mileage and clean 2024 MOT are positives, buyers should carefully inspect brake and tyre components before purchasing.
Prioritise checking the front brake discs for excessive wear and the offside front tyre's condition, as these have repeatedly failed inspection. Insist on a full service history to verify maintenance consistency. Negotiate a discount for the 2026 MOT failures, particularly the wiper and child seat issues which may indicate neglect. Be wary of the two cut tyres recorded in 2025, which could signal poor maintenance habits.
Diesel economy is moderate for a 1.46L engine, with expected 40-45 mpg on the motorway. Tax costs are low at £140 annually for 2018-2023, rising to £145 from 2023. Insurance groups for Dusters typically range 15-20, making premiums average for this class. Maintenance costs could exceed £500 annually due to brake and tyre replacements, with the 2026 MOT failures suggesting potential recurring issues.
Focus on the front brake discs (repeatedly flagged for wear) and offside front tyre (near legal limit in 2026). Check for signs of moisture ingress in the brake system, which could accelerate disc wear. Inspect the wiper blades for damage causing poor windscreen clearance. Verify the registration plate lamp functionality and ensure the child seat anchor points aren't compromised by the 2026 MOT note about restricted belt inspection.
This 2018 Dacia Duster has covered 68,692 miles (8 years old) with a MOT history showing recurring brake and tyre issues. A 2024 MOT pass indicates good maintenance in the past, but recent failures highlight potential ongoing costs. The vehicle's white colour and 1.46L diesel engine are neutral factors in its value proposition.
No aggregate MOT data available for the Dacia Duster, but this vehicle's history suggests potential maintenance challenges with brake components and tyre longevity.
