Used Dacia Spring for sale in Europe

About the Dacia Spring

The Dacia Spring is a small electric hatchback with a compact crossover look. It is built as a simple, low-cost city car. It has four seats, a modest boot and a short body that is easy to park. Production began in 2020, and European sales started in 2021.

It suits buyers who mainly drive short urban and suburban trips and can charge at home or at work. It has a single electric motor and one body style. Power was offered in two main levels, usually called 45 and 65. Equipment varies by trim, so compare the spec of each car rather than the name alone.

Used cars in our listings cover model years 2020 to 2026. Battery capacity is often written differently from one seller to another. Treat the stated figure as a starting point and confirm it against the vehicle documents.

What to check when buying a used Dacia Spring

Inspect the car in daylight and ask for the service history and the charging documents. Test drive it, then charge it at least once if you can. Compare the dashboard readings with what the seller says.

• Battery state of health

  Ask for a recent battery health report or a diagnostic reading. A car that is low on charge when you arrive can hide a weak battery, so note the estimated range at full charge and compare it with the claimed capacity.

• Charging port and cables

  Look inside the charging flap for dirt, damaged pins or a loose flap. Check that the supplied cable and any home-charging cable are present and undamaged. Plug in if possible and confirm that charging starts normally.

• Fast-charging equipment

  DC fast charging was not fitted to every Spring. It depended on trim and options. Check the spec sheet and the port itself, so you know whether the car can use public fast chargers.

• Early-car software and options · First series (2021-2023)

  Check that the infotainment screen, phone connection and any app or remote features work. Look at the equipment list carefully, as early cars were sold with fairly basic specifications.

• Body, interior and trim wear

  The Spring uses simple, light construction. Look for scratches, dents and cracked plastic trim, especially on cars used for deliveries or car sharing. Check for rattles, worn seat fabric and door seals that fit properly.

• Tyres and brakes

  Check tyres for uneven wear and for matching brands. Because electric cars use regenerative braking, brake discs can corrode from light use, so look for rust and listen for noises when braking.

• Recalls and service records

  Ask for the service history and check by VIN with an official dealer whether any recall or service campaign is open. Also check that the 12-volt battery and cooling system have been looked at.

Battery, charging and heat pump

Battery and state of health

The Spring has one main battery size of around 27 kWh. The figures in our listings range from about 24 to 27.6 kWh, which is probably down to gross and usable values being mixed up or rounded differently. Confirm the figure on the registration papers or the spec sheet. Battery state of health (SoH) shows how much capacity remains. Ask for a diagnostic report from a dealer or a specialist, and compare the full-charge range with expectations.

Charging

The Spring charges with AC at home or at public points, and some versions also accept DC fast charging. Which one you have depends on trim and options, so check the spec sheet. Inspect the charging flap and port for damage, dirt or moisture. Look at cables for cracks, bent plugs and loose connectors. If possible, test an AC session and, where fitted, a DC session.

Heat pump

Check the spec sheet to see how the car is heated, and whether a heat pump is fitted. It is not something to assume. Cabin heating uses battery energy, so in winter the type of heater can noticeably affect the range. Ask the seller how the car behaved in cold weather.
