2017 DACIA SANDERO1.5L Diesel

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 11 October 2025 at 90,577 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. A failed entry exists on the same date and mileage, yet the subsequent pass on that day with no advisories or defects logged suggests the failure was administrative or a retest correction rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five-year span from September 2023 to October 2025, every test cleared without recorded defects or advisories. The odometer shows 72,374 miles at the 19 September 2023 test, rising to 84,655 by 17 September 2024 and 86,102 on 7 November 2024, then 90,577 by October 2025. This equates to roughly 10,000 miles per year, typical for a 2017 vehicle now nearing nine years old. The gap between the September 2024 and November 2024 entries covers only 1,447 miles in seven weeks, likely a change of owner or a delayed first annual test; otherwise accumulation is steady with no abrupt spikes that would flag heavy commercial use. The clean record gives no tester-flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across the history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity underneath the sills and subframes, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not certify absence of early-stage rust on a Dacia of this age. Verify the brake calipers and coil springs move freely and show no fatigue, and confirm the 2025 failure-to-pass sequence involved no hidden rectification by reviewing the VT20 and VT30 documents with the seller.
