Our Verdict
The 2018 Dacia Duster HT67MWL offers good value with a mostly clean MOT history, but the recent headlamp aim failure requires inspection. A sensible purchase for budget-conscious buyers willing to verify repairs.
Prioritise checking the nearside headlamp adjustment and suspension components. Request service history to confirm maintenance consistency. Negotiate slightly due to the MOT failure, but the vehicle's low running costs and Dacia's reputation for durability offset this risk. Verify that the 1.2L petrol engine shows no signs of oil consumption or misfiring.
The 1.2L petrol engine offers decent fuel economy (around 40-45 mpg) for a 2018 model. With 0% company car tax and an estimated insurance group 18-20, annual costs will remain low. Scheduled maintenance (oil changes every 10,000 miles) should be affordable, though the headlamp repair may add £50-100. Total annual running costs are likely £800-1,000.
Focus on the nearside headlamp assembly and alignment. Check for suspension wear (particularly the front struts) given the vehicle's age. Inspect the engine for oil leaks or excessive carbon buildup. Verify that the 48,843 miles match service records and that the VIN-specific black paint shows no signs of bodywork repairs.
This 2018 Duster has 48,843 miles - slightly above average for its age but not excessive. While it has a clean MOT record aside from a minor headlamp issue, the lack of model-wide reliability data means buyers should thoroughly inspect the vehicle before purchase.
While no aggregate data exists for the Duster, Dacia vehicles generally demonstrate good reliability with low maintenance costs, particularly for models under 5 years old.
