2022 Dacia Sandero Stepway Comfort TCE 1.0L Petrol · LA71 ABV

A consistent lack of reported defects characterizes the roadworthiness history of this vehicle, despite an unusual sequence of test outcomes in late 2025. The car recorded failures on 2025-11-11 and 2025-12-23, although no specific defects were listed in the records for these instances. This was followed by a pass on 2025-12-23, maintaining a trend of zero recorded advisories across all tests since 2024. The recorded mileage of 37,963 miles over approximately four years represents an annual average of roughly 9,491 miles. This is a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age, suggesting a standard rate of wear on the drivetrain, brake consumables, and suspension components. There is no evidence of prolonged periods of standing or erratic mileage increases that would typically alter the mechanical risk profile. Because the MOT history contains no specific advisories or defects, there are no flagged components such as worn suspension linkages or corroded brake lines to specifically target. A test drive should instead focus on baseline mechanical performance, listening for any knocks or clunks from the suspension over bumps and checking for any steering pull or vibration at higher speeds. Ensure the brake pedal provides a firm, consistent response without judder, which would indicate issues with the brake discs. While no oil leaks or emissions failures are noted in the records, a visual check of the engine bay for oil misting around seals is recommended. Verify that all lighting and electronic functions operate correctly to ensure the vehicle remains compliant with roadworthiness standards.
