Dacia Duster2020

• Affordable, spacious SUV with strong appeal in Irish market; good fuel economy and raised driving position make it popular for families and rural buyers.
• Mileage at median (105k km) sits comfortably within expected range for a 6-year-old; pricing has held firm year-on-year — fair value, not a bargain.
• Direct injection petrol engines prone to carbon build-up causing ticking/knocking, especially beyond 100k km; turbo petrol (1.3 TCe) prone to wastegate rattle — budget for potential repair.
• Before purchase, listen carefully for engine ticking under load and turbo noise during acceleration; also test reverse gear engagement when cold to detect gearbox grinding.
• NI import €354 cheaper before VRT, but VRT (€2,400–€3,000+ on this model) and NOx levy will erase savings — stick with ROI stock unless buying well below median.
