Used Dacia Jogger 2022-present reliability

When viewing a used car, always follow our used car buying checklist.

Not all versions of the Jogger will have been pampered, so you’ll need to check the bumpers and bodywork for damage. Also, make sure alloy wheels (if there are any fitted) don’t have any kerb damage.

The interior isn’t the best part of the Jogger and its hard plastics can be scuffed by rings and general wear and tear.

There have been no recalls for the Jogger so far. Check with your local dealer to see if any come up and make sure that any remedial work has been carried out.

You can check for recalls on the government website here.

The Dacia Jogger didn't feature in our 2024 What Car? Reliability Survey because there were too few examples.

However, its smaller sibling the Dacia Duster did feature. It finished in fourth place out of 23 cars in the small SUV class with a brilliant overall score of 98.8%. It finished above its rivals, the Ford Puma and the Volkswagen T-Roc, but below the Audi Q2 and Mini Countryman.

Dacia as a brand ranked a highly commendable sixth out of 31 manufacturers, scoring an excellent 96% and finishing higher than other, bigger rivals such as Ford and Vauxhall.

Used Dacia Jogger reliability: the owners' view

In our latest Reliability Survey, Dacia Jogger owners said their cars offered generally dependable day-to-day motoring, though there were a few caveats. Most owners reported no serious mechanical issues, and several praised the car’s simple, no-nonsense engineering for contributing to its reliability.

However, some flagged problems with warning lights appearing intermittently, often without a clear fault. In these cases, owners found that dealership staff could struggle to diagnose the issue quickly, leading to frustration. One owner mentioned needing multiple visits to resolve a minor electrical fault, and another highlighted long wait times for parts.

While many rated their local dealers as polite and helpful, feedback on repairs was more mixed. A few respondents said their service centres were slow to respond or lacked sufficient technical knowledge. Overall, while reliability was largely sound, dealer experience varied, especially when more complex issues arose.
