DACIA SANDERO STEPWAY ESSENTIAL TCE2021 · 1.0L Petrol

This vehicle is in an excellent state of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 8 April 2026 at 16,817 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of performance, as the previous two tests also returned clean passes. The mileage is notably low for a five year old car, averaging roughly 3,363 miles per year. The distance covered between the April 2024 test at 5,392 miles and the March 2025 test at 12,444 miles shows a period of higher activity, with 7,052 miles added in a year. Use dropped significantly thereafter, with only 4,373 miles added between March 2025 and April 2026. The absence of any recorded defects across three years of testing suggests a high standard of care or very light duty. There are no recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions to flag. The lack of advisories regarding corrosion or tyre wear indicates the vehicle has not suffered from neglect or prolonged standing in harsh environments. A physical inspection should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. The buyer should check for perished rubber seals and the condition of the battery, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from under-use. Checking the brake calipers for sticking and verifying the tyre date codes will confirm if the car has spent long periods stationary.
