2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · AG17 ALG

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 October 2025 at 43,859 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since the single failure in August 2023. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or worsening mechanical faults across the available history. Recorded mileage stands at 43,859 miles against an eight-year age, averaging roughly 5,482 miles per year. The test on 8 October 2024 at 37,342 miles and the 25 October 2023 test at 30,688 miles confirm steady low annual use. A short interval between 9 August 2023 (failed at 30,666 miles) and 16 August 2023 (passed at 30,669 miles) suggests a quick rectification turnaround, with only three miles added before retest. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data. The August 2023 failure carries no listed defects, which points to a documentation or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean pass record since, the buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion, as low-mileage cars left standing can develop perished rubber components and structural rust unseen by the annual test. Previous ownership appears disciplined on statutory maintenance, with every test but one cleared first time and no advisories ignored. The Sandero's light use implies consumables such as tyres and wiper blades saw little wear, though a physical check of tread depth and screen wash function remains sensible before purchase.
