The Dacia Jogger is a 7-seat family MPV launched in 2022 — one of the most remarkable value propositions in the new car market. It replaced the Lodgy and competes with the Renault Kangoo and Citroën Berlingo for family space at a fraction of their price. Available as a petrol, petrol-LPG bifuel, mild hybrid, and — from 2024 — a full hybrid. Most UK examples are still very new and many remain under Dacia's 3-year warranty. The Jogger is already one of the most talked-about budget family cars of the decade.

Dacia Jogger — MOT Tips
Hybrid system warning lights must be clear on Hybrid Jogger models. LPG system warning lights are MOT-relevant on ECO-G bifuel models. Check all 7 seatbelts on 7-seat examples. As a very new car, most Joggers are still under Dacia's 3-year warranty.
Engine management light on before your MOT? It's an automatic fail. Run a
MotorLoom diagnostic for £1.99 to get the likely cause and repair cost before booking the test.
Dacia Jogger Tyres
Most Dacia Jogger models run 195/65 R15 or 205/55 R16 or 215/55 R17 depending on trim level and year. Always check the placard inside the driver's door for the exact size for your vehicle.
Summary
The Jogger is outstanding value — nothing else offers 7 seats, a 695-litre boot and modern safety tech at its price. The 1.0 TCe mild hybrid is the most refined engine. The ECO-G bifuel is genuinely cost-effective if LPG is available locally. Most UK Joggers are still under warranty and extremely low mileage.
