2022 DACIA SANDERO STEPWAY PRESTIGE TCE1.0L Petrol

This Dacia Sandero Stepway Prestige TCE passed its most recent MOT on 30 June 2025 at precisely 9,084 miles, with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories or failings in the single available test suggests the vehicle has not encountered any significant mechanical or structural issues within the past year. However, the lack of a second test within the standard 12-month cycle means the current roadworthiness status is only confirmed up to that date. Buyers should note that the vehicle has not been subject to a recent inspection, leaving a gap of nearly 13 months since the last official assessment. The recorded mileage of 9,084 miles over approximately four years—roughly 2,271 miles annually—indicates unusually low usage for a vehicle of this age. Such low mileage could imply extended periods of storage or infrequent driving, which may have mitigated some wear but could also lead to other issues, such as degraded fluids, minor corrosion from prolonged exposure, or dormant mechanical components. The consistency of the mileage reading across the sole MOT test also suggests no rapid accumulation of miles, which might have otherwise raised concerns about accelerated wear. Given the sparse MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components prone to neglect in low-mileage vehicles. Check for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as prolonged standing can accelerate rust. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for dryness or cracking, as static loads may have caused premature degradation. The brakes should be inspected for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods, as caliper seals can seize. Tyre condition, though not flagged in the MOT, warrants verification, as low mileage does not guarantee tread depth or sidewall integrity. Finally, verify fluid levels—brake, clutch (if applicable), engine oil, and coolant—since stagnation can lead to contamination or failure.
