2018 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · FY18 AEU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear positive maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 27 March 2026 at 65,725 miles passed with no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. While a failure was recorded in early January 2025, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed the identified faults promptly rather than delaying necessary repairs. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per annum. Between February 2023 at 40,958 miles and January 2024 at 48,876 miles, the car covered roughly 8,000 miles, showing a very steady rate of use. The subsequent accumulation of nearly 17,000 miles over twenty-six months reinforces this moderate, predictable driving habit. This low-average profile generally reduces the stress on drivetrain components and suspension assemblies compared to high-mileage counterparts. Given the clean record of the most recent tests, a buyer should focus on the physical condition of rubber components that are not always captured in a standard MOT. Inspect the suspension bushes and ball joints for signs of cracking, as these can perish over time regardless of low mileage. Since the record shows no advisories for brake wear, check the brake discs for surface pitting or binding calipers to ensure the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods. The structural integrity of the chassis should also be verified to ensure no hidden corrosion has begun to develop in the sills or underbody areas.
