DACIA SANDERO2017 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 11 August 2025 at 66,167 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum standards. While a failure occurred in late August 2024, the immediate pass the following day suggests a minor issue was addressed promptly and the overall maintenance trend remains consistent. Mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,350 miles per annum. Between August 2022 at 40,486 miles and August 2025 at 66,167 miles, the car covered 25,681 miles, showing a steady rate of use without long periods of stagnation or excessive wear. The 9,000-mile gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests reflects this predictable pattern, which typically prevents the dry rot of rubber components and seals often seen with low-use vehicles. The single failure on 20 August 2024 at 59,113 miles is the only point of concern in an otherwise clean record. Because the specific reason for that failure is not detailed in the summary, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of common failure points such as bulbs, wipers, or tyre tread that might have triggered a rejection. Given the lack of advisories for structural corrosion or fluid leaks in previous years, focus should remain on verifying the condition of the suspension bushes and the thickness of the brake pads and discs to ensure no accelerated wear has developed since the last test.
