The Dacia Sandero – cheap to buy and holds its value well too

RENAULT likes to call the Dacia Sandero “the UK’s most affordable car” but now the sums are even better because it looks as though the budget super-mini will hold on to its value better than most of its rivals.

Residual value specialist CAP has forecast that over three years and 60,000 miles, the entry-level Sandero, the £5,995 Access 1.2, will lose £3615, while the top-of-the-range Laureate with the same engine loses £1400 more.

That means the Laureate keeps 36 per cent of its value, which is six per cent better than a similarly-specced Skoda Fabia and eight per cent better than a broadly equivalent Suzuki Swift – and CAP’s rival Glass’s Guide is expecting the Sandero to do even better in the depreciation stakes.

The news follows strong residual values predictions earlier in the year for the Sandero’s SUV stablemate, the Duster.
