2020 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · CK20 AEW

This Dacia Sandero presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 17 May 2025 at 18,602 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a six year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,100 miles per year. Between 13 May 2023 and 17 May 2025, the odometer increased by 7,154 miles. This low usage suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy wear and tear on the drivetrain or suspension. A failure recorded on 11 May 2024 at 14,984 miles was resolved on the same day, though the lack of specific defect data for that failure makes it difficult to determine if it was a minor administrative error or a quick mechanical fix. Despite the clean MOT record, the low mileage and periods of light use introduce specific risks. A buyer should check for signs of stagnation, such as perished tyre sidewalls or brake disc corrosion, which often occur when a vehicle sits idle. Inspect the brake calipers for binding and check the battery health, as low-mileage cars frequently suffer from premature battery degradation. The absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion is positive. However, since the MOT is a snapshot in time, a physical inspection should verify that the oil has been changed at regular intervals regardless of the low mileage. This ensures the engine internals remain lubricated and free from sludge buildup.
