2023 Dacia Duster Extreme SE Tce 4x2

CarHunch is tracking 271 2023 Dacia Duster Extreme SE Tce 4x2 vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

**Reliability Verdict**

The 2023 Dacia Duster Extreme SE TCe 4×2 has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 3.9%, which is catastrophically below the UK average of 80%—this is a severe red flag for reliability. However, the extremely low mileage (27,159 miles average) and near-zero dangerous defects (0%) suggest these are mostly minor teething issues rather than structural problems, though the 50 CarHunch score indicates fundamental concerns that warrant investigation.

**Practical Takeaway**

At this age and mileage, nearly all cars should pass MOT first time, so this cohort's failure rate points to systemic quality issues specific to this model variant. Before buying one, request the full MOT history from any seller and have an independent pre-purchase inspection, particularly focusing on the recurring failure categories—this will reveal whether you're facing a one-off lemon or a model with genuine design flaws.

What to check before buying a 2023 Dacia Duster Extreme SE Tce 4x2

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
