Buying Tips for the Dacia Sandero (Mk2)

  • Inspect the rear arches, door bottoms, and the fuel filler area for bubbling paint.
  • Check the clutch action; a heavy pedal or high bite point suggests it is near the end of its life.
  • Drive the 0.9 TCe petrol specifically to check for "kangarooing" or hesitation when cold.
