Our Verdict
The 2019 Dacia Duster presents a reasonable purchase opportunity, but buyers should carefully inspect the electronic power steering system and tyre condition. Its low mileage and clean MOT history for most years offset some risks.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the electronic power steering system following the 2023 MOT failure. Check for consistent fluid leaks or dashboard warning lights. Verify the offside front tyre's condition (noted in 2026) and assess the nearside mirror damage from 2025. While no service history is provided, Dacia's reputation for reliability suggests basic maintenance may be sufficient. Negotiate based on the 2023 failure and minor defects, but the low mileage supports a fair valuation.
As a 1.3L petrol engine, the Duster offers decent fuel economy (approx. 40-50 mpg) but will incur £15-£20 weekly fuel costs for average use. Euro 6AG compliance ensures zero road tax. Insurance groups for this model typically range from 10-15, costing £50-£80 monthly. Maintenance costs remain low due to Dacia's simplicity, though the 2023 power steering issue may require £200-£400 repair. Estimated annual running costs: £800-£1,200.
Focus on the electronic power steering system for recurring faults, checking for warning lights or unusual noises. Examine the offside front tyre for structural damage and consider replacement if cracks are visible. Inspect the nearside obligatory mirror for stability and alignment. Review underbody for corrosion (common in UK conditions) and test all lights/controls for functionality. Confirm the vehicle hasn't been involved in accidents via the VIN check.
This 2019 Dacia Duster has accumulated 10,478 miles (below average for its age) with a mostly clean MOT record. A single 2023 failure related to electronic power steering and minor cosmetic issues in recent years suggest manageable risks. The vehicle's petrol engine and Euro 6AG compliance align with typical 2019 model standards.
While no aggregate data exists for the Dacia Duster, the brand generally maintains a reputation for durability and low maintenance costs, particularly in basic trim levels.
