2023 Dacia Duster Journey TCE 4X2 1.3L Petrol · ST72 GGK

When inspecting the vehicle, confirm that the tyre tread depth meets legal limits and look for uneven wear that could indicate alignment issues. Verify that the windscreen washer system operates correctly and that the headlamps are free of fogging or dimming, as these are the top failure points for the Duster model. If possible, request any available service receipts to confirm regular oil changes and timing belt service, even though the MOT record does not provide this information.

Negotiating on price can consider the slightly higher than average mileage and the fact that the vehicle has only one MOT record. Compare the asking price with similar 2023 Duster Journey models in the market, adjusting for colour, mileage and any optional equipment. Be prepared to ask for a recent independent mechanical inspection to uncover any hidden wear that the MOT may not have captured.

If the vehicle has been kept in the UK climate, pay particular attention to corrosion around the wheel arches and under the chassis, especially given the model’s occasional reports of rust in harsher environments. Ensure that any warranty that may still be in effect is transferable, as this can add value and reduce future repair risk.

The orange 2023 Dacia Duster Journey TCe has logged 31,986 miles since its first registration in January 2023 and has one MOT record, which it passed without defects. Its mileage is slightly above the model’s average annual mileage of 8,919 miles but remains typical for a three‑year‑old vehicle. The Duster’s aggregate MOT pass rate of 91.7% suggests the model generally meets roadworthiness standards. However, the most common failures for the model relate to tyres, windscreen washer systems and headlamps, which should be checked.
