Should I be worried about a high number of previous owners?
I am looking for a 2020 Dacia Duster petrol and have noticed that a large number of these cars that are only 4 years old have already had two or 3 owners. Many of them claim to have a full service history from a Dacia dealer. My initial thought is that the car has a ongoing problem maybe electrical?

The Dacia Duster has a good reliability record - you can read about issues that owners have experienced in our review here - www.honestjohn.co.uk/dacia/duster/2018/# The reason for the number of owners may simply be that the cars have been leased on 12 month deals or have been traded in. If you are determined to find a one-owner example then if you wait long enough there are bound to be some on the market.
