2019 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · AE17 AME

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded across four consecutive MOT tests from 2022 to 2025. The most recent 2025 test at 7,890 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. All prior tests, including the 2024 inspection at 5,726 miles and 2023 at 4,816 miles, similarly showed no faults, reinforcing a pattern of reliable performance. No advisories or critical failures are noted in the history, suggesting the car has been well-maintained within the scope of mandatory inspections. The mileage progression reveals a low annual usage rate of approximately 1,127 miles, reflecting either infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity. The 2022 test at 4,150 miles marked the first recorded mileage, with gradual increases to 4,816 miles by 2023 and 5,726 miles in 2024. A significant jump to 7,890 miles occurred between 2024 and 2025, potentially indicating increased usage or a delayed test. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have experienced periods of storage, which could affect components like battery life, fluid stability, and rubber seals. The absence of corrosion or structural issues in the MOT records mitigates some concerns, but the low mileage warrants scrutiny of aged parts not tested during MOTs. A buyer should prioritize an independent inspection of suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, which may degrade without regular stress. Brake systems, particularly calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as low mileage can mask gradual deterioration. The exhaust system and emissions controls, though not flagged in MOTs, require verification due to potential age-related leaks or blockages. Additionally, the underbody and chassis should be examined for hidden corrosion, as stagnant periods may accelerate rust in vulnerable areas. The MOT history provides no evidence of structural damage, but physical inspection remains critical to confirm the vehicle’s overall condition.
