The Dacia Duster 1.5 dCi (first generation) is an excellent value workhorse with rugged simplicity, but the Renault-derived K9K engine has known weak points. Injector failure is common, and the dual-mass flywheel and clutch assembly often need replacement between 60-80k miles. Surface rust can develop on rear wheel arches. Keep up with servicing and it's a dependable budget SUV.
