About the Dacia Duster

Manufacturer, model year, country: enter the VIN of the model Dacia Duster and the free decoder reads all three from the 17 characters. For the car Dacia Duster we list the production years 2010 - present, 6 versions in total, the body styles SUV and a power figure of 150 hp. The decoder reads the world manufacturer identifier in characters 1 to 3, the model year in character 10 and the plant in character 11 where one is coded.

Past damage, odometer values, theft records and the number of owners are not part of a VIN, so no decoder can read them from the code alone. A separate history check is needed for that. When viewing a model Dacia Duster, copy the VIN from the vehicle yourself instead of trusting the number in the listing, then compare it character by character with the documents.
