2021 Dacia Duster SE Twenty TCE 4X2 1.3L Petrol · YT21 FZR

The 1333cc petrol engine is designed for a balance of efficiency and performance, typically sitting in a moderate insurance group. As a Euro 6dg compliant vehicle, it is ULEZ and Clean Air Zone compliant, helping to avoid daily charges in many UK cities.

Maintenance costs for Dacia models are generally considered lower than many competitors due to the brand's focus on simplicity. However, you should budget for regular tyre replacements, as the 2025 MOT history indicates they may be a recurring maintenance item for this vehicle. Total annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are estimated to be in the mid-range for this vehicle class.

Focus your inspection on the running gear. Specifically, examine the front brake discs and pads; the 2025 record noted 'significantly and obviously worn inner surfaces' on the front discs, so you want to ensure the current components are in good health.

Perform a thorough check of all four tyres. The previous failure involved both tread depth issues and structural tears (separation/partial failure) on the nearside and offside tyres. Look for uneven wear patterns or any bulges in the sidewalls. Finally, check the overall exterior condition of the blue paintwork and ensure all lighting components are functional, as headlamps are a common failure point for this model aggregate.
