Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2013 model year cars.
- Bodywork Corrosion (Early Models)Moderate
Early Sandero Mk2s had thinner undersealing, leading to surface rust on sills, seams, and inner wheel arches on UK salted roads.
- Rear Brake Cylinder LeaksModerate
The rear drum brake wheel cylinders can start weeping fluid, which contaminates the brake shoes and reduces efficiency.
