**Important note:** This 2023 Dacia Duster has not yet accumulated enough MOT test records in the DVLA light-vehicle database to provide reliable pass rate and defect statistics. The figures shown above are not valid for drawing conclusions about reliability.

What we do know is that the 380 vehicles sampled have an average mileage of 18,356 miles—very low for a car now approaching two years old, suggesting most are either lightly used or recently registered. The Duster Essential TCe 4×2 is a budget-friendly compact SUV popular with first-time buyers and owners who value practicality over premium features. When these cars do eventually accumulate MOT history, watch for reports on engine and gearbox durability in real-world conditions, as budget models sometimes reveal longevity patterns only after 3–4 years of data. If you're considering one, prioritize a full pre-purchase inspection by a trusted mechanic rather than relying on MOT history alone, and ask the seller for detailed service records to verify maintenance standards.
