Our Verdict
The 2021 Dacia Duster YY21XWD is a low-risk purchase with an unblemished MOT history and below-average mileage for its age.
Prioritize checking the service history for regular maintenance records, particularly oil changes and filter replacements. Verify that all factory warranties (if applicable) have been transferred. Be cautious of potential hidden costs related to the 999cc petrol engine, which may require more frequent servicing than larger engines. Negotiate based on the low mileage and clean MOT record, but be aware that Dacia's budget-focused design may limit resale value compared to premium brands.
The 999cc petrol engine likely offers strong fuel economy, with official figures around 45-50 mpg. As a Euro 6AP-compliant vehicle, it should fall into a lower UK road tax band (£155 per year for 2026-2027). Insurance groups for Dusters typically range from 15-20, making premiums moderate. Maintenance costs are expected to be low, though owners should budget £200-£400 annually for routine servicing and parts replacement.
Inspect the engine for signs of oil consumption or carbon buildup, common in small petrol engines. Check the 4x4 system if equipped, as Dacia's off-road capabilities may require specialized maintenance. Review the body for corrosion around wheel arches and underbody panels, which can occur in UK weather conditions. Verify that all MOT test certificates match the vehicle's VIN and registration details.
This Dacia Duster has maintained a clean MOT record across three consecutive tests, with no defects reported. At 24,834 miles (as of July 2026), the mileage is significantly lower than typical for a 5-year-old vehicle. While no model-wide reliability data is available, the vehicle's service history suggests careful ownership.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Dacia Duster model, but this specific vehicle shows no signs of mechanical issues in its MOT history.
