2018 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · CK18 ABN

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 30 July 2025 at 55,509 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The July 2025 pass came on the same day as a failed attempt at identical mileage, though the tester logged no defects on either entry, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in July 2024 at 47,568 miles and July 2023 at 35,315 miles also passed cleanly, with the 2023 record showing a same-day fail carrying no defects. No advisories or corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions concerns appear anywhere in the eight-year file. Annual mileage has averaged close to 6,939 miles, a typical figure for a 2018 vehicle. The jump from 35,315 miles in July 2023 to 47,568 miles in July 2024 shows roughly 12,250 miles covered that year, over double the yearly norm, before settling to 7,941 miles by July 2025. The repeated same-day fail and pass pairs at 35,315 and 55,509 miles imply clerical retries at the testing station rather than owner neglect or deferred repairs. The sparse, defect-free record gives little evidence of skipped consumable replacement or structural decline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs, suspension bushes, and coil springs given the car's age and the unexplained 2023 to 2024 mileage surge. Examine underside structural integrity and exhaust emissions hardware for latent corrosion the MOT may not have captured under clean passes. Verify the July 2025 dual entries with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect data sits behind the no-defect fail.
