2016 DACIA SANDERO1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 April 2026 at 77,552 miles. While the vehicle remains legal, the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward consumable wear. The most recent test flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on an edge, which follows a pattern of tyre-related advisories seen in the 5 April 2025 test at 64,297 miles, where both nearside and offside rear tyres were noted as being worn on the edges. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical driver, averaging approximately 7,755 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. The record shows steady progression from 22,041 miles in July 2019 to the current 77,552 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing or periods of prolonged inactivity, suggesting the car has been used regularly. The jump from 51,056 miles in April 2024 to 64,297 miles in April 2025, and then to 77,552 miles in April 2026, indicates a consistent annual usage of roughly 13,000 miles in the most recent two-year period, which is slightly higher than the historical average but remains well within normal parameters. A prospective buyer should focus on the wheel alignment and suspension components during a physical inspection. The recurring advisory for tyres being worn on the edges in both 2025 and 2026 suggests potential issues with tracking, camber, or worn suspension bushes. While the 2019 failure for imbalanced rear brakes was resolved, the recent focus on tyre wear warrants a check of the steering geometry and front-end components. No structural corrosion or serious mechanical defects have appeared in the recent history, but the shift from clean certificates in 2022-2024 to consumable advisories in 2025-2026 marks the transition into a phase where more frequent maintenance of wear items will be required.
