Buying Tips for 2023 Dacia Jogger

  • ✓Test the folding mechanism of the third-row seats to ensure they clip in and out of the floor smoothly.
  • ✓On the Hybrid 140 models, check for smooth power delivery and ensure there are no warning lights relating to the battery system.
  • ✓Inspect the rear bumper and boot sill for heavy scuffs, as the long load bay encourages heavy loading.
  • ✓Listen for suspension knocking; the long wheelbase and heavy loads can accelerate wear on rear shock absorbers.
  • ✓Check the infotainment system for responsiveness, ensuring the smartphone mirroring works without dropping out.
  • ✓Verify the condition of the clutch on manual models, especially if the car has been used regularly with seven passengers.
