Thoughts on this Dacia?

Hi, I saw a 2016 Dacia sandero on Saturday for sale at €8990. It has 40,000 Kms on the clock. It's 1.5L engine, diesel. Is this a good buy. I do a lot of driving, about 600 km per week. Many thanks

Our answer:

Hi Anne,

The Sandero represents excellent budget motoring. We’re guessing that, at that price, it’s a lower-spec car, like an Alternative, so it won’t have many toys, but the 1.5-litre dCi is a Renault-Nissan-sourced engine and – for someone doing in excess of 30,000km per annum – a diesel is entirely the right way to go. Give it a test drive and if you like the way it drives, go for it; you won’t get anything newer or lower mileage for the same money.
