Used Dacia Frequently Asked Questions
Is a used Dacia a reliable car?
Absolutely. Dacia's entire reputation is built on reliability. By using simple, robust components and proven engines from its parent company, Dacia produces cars that are famously dependable, meaning fewer unexpected repair bills and more time on the road.
Are Dacia cars expensive to maintain?
No, they are well known for being incredibly affordable to own. Their excellent reliability means you will likely spend less on repairs, and because parts are widely available and shared across the model range, routine servicing costs are very competitive.
How well do used Dacias hold their value?
Dacia models hold their value exceptionally well. Because their initial purchase price is so low and they are in high demand on the used market, their rate of depreciation is much slower than that of many more expensive rivals, making a used Dacia a very sound financial decision.
Are used Dacias a safe choice for my family?
Yes. Modern Dacia models are built with safety as a priority and have performed well in safety tests. They feature reinforced body structures, multiple airbags, and essential safety systems like automatic emergency braking on newer models, providing peace of mind for you and your family.
What is the most important thing to check when buying a used Dacia?
The single most important factor is a full service history. A well-maintained Dacia will provide many years of trouble-free motoring, so clear evidence of regular care is the best sign that you are buying a great car. All our Approved Used models come with a verified history.
Why is buying an Approved Used Dacia a smart decision?
Buying an Approved Used Dacia from a trusted retailer like Vertu gives you significant peace of mind. It means the car has passed a comprehensive multi-point inspection by our trained technicians and comes with a warranty, which you would not get from a private seller.
Sandero vs Duster: Which used Dacia should I choose?
This depends on your needs. The Dacia Sandero offers unbeatable value for a modern hatchback, with very low running costs. The Dacia Duster is the better choice if you need the space, higher driving position, and toughness of an SUV, offering incredible versatility for a small price premium.
What is the difference between a Sandero and a Sandero Stepway?
The Sandero is a traditional and highly capable hatchback. The Sandero Stepway is a more rugged, SUV-inspired version of the same car. It features raised suspension for better ground clearance, roof bars, and protective body cladding, giving it a more adventurous look and a commanding view of the road.
Duster vs Jogger: Which is the better family car?
Both are excellent. The Duster is a brilliant five-seater SUV that is tough, practical, and available with four-wheel drive. The Dacia Jogger is the ultimate choice for larger families, cleverly blending SUV and estate car styles to offer seven seats and enormous flexibility, making it one of the best value seven-seaters on the market.
