Dacia Duster (2019)
2019 Dacia Duster
CarHunch analysed 14,406 real MOT records for the 2019 Dacia Duster. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 Dacia Duster passes its MOT at 84.4%, which beats the UK average of 80% and suggests solid baseline reliability across this cohort of 14,406 vehicles. The dangerous defect rate sits at 13.6%, which is acceptably low, and petrol and diesel variants perform nearly identically (84.4% vs 84.0% pass rates), so fuel choice won't affect your odds of a smooth test.
These cars have racked up a median of 30,715 miles by now, which is typical for five-year-old stock, and the average vehicle picks up 0.92 failures and 4.1 advisories per test—suggesting minor wear rather than structural problems. When you're evaluating a used 2019 Duster, check the service history carefully and budget for routine consumables, but the numbers say it's a safe used-car choice if the maintenance record is solid.
What to check before buying a 2019 Dacia Duster
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.
