2016 DACIA SANDERO0.9L Petrol

The vehicle currently maintains a clean bill of health with a consistent record of compliance. The most recent MOT test conducted on 09 September 2025 at 86,665 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This trend of clean passes extends back through the 2024, 2023, and 2022 tests, indicating a stable maintenance history where the vehicle has been presented in a roadworthy condition without recurring mechanical failures. The recorded mileage of 86,665 miles over a ten-year period averages approximately 8,666 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this classification. The progression of mileage is linear and logical, showing no evidence of long-term storage or periods of inactivity that might otherwise lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The minor discrepancy noted on 13 September 2024, where the vehicle failed and subsequently passed on the same day, likely points to a clerical error or an immediate rectification of a minor issue such as a blown bulb rather than a significant mechanical fault. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these components often show wear at this mileage despite clean MOT results. Check the brake discs for signs of pitting or heavy corrosion, particularly on the inner faces, which may not always be captured during a standard test. While the history is exemplary, verify that the timing belt has been replaced according to the manufacturer schedule, as this is a critical maintenance item not covered by the MOT criteria. The absence of structural corrosion advisories suggests the vehicle has been stored appropriately, but a visual check of the sills and floor pan remains a prudent step for any used car purchase.
