AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 December 2025 at 138,567 miles. This test was completed without any recorded defects or advisories. The record shows a pattern of immediate rectification following failures, as seen in November 2025 and November 2023, suggesting the owner addresses required repairs promptly to maintain legal compliance. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 11,547 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between November 2024 and December 2025, where the odometer rose from 120,865 to 138,567 miles. This represents a jump of 17,702 miles in just over a year, which is significantly higher than the previous interval between November 2023 and November 2024. The absence of advisories across several years is unusual for a twelve year old vehicle with this mileage. While the clean record suggests a well-maintained car, a buyer should still manually inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear. High mileage often leads to gradual degradation of these components that may not always trigger a failure but will impact drive quality. Particular attention should be paid to the underside for signs of corrosion, as the MOT data provides no insight into structural integrity beyond the basic pass requirements. Checking for oil leaks around the engine and gearbox is also recommended given the 138,567 mile total. The lack of recorded faults suggests a level of care, but a physical check of the consumables remains necessary.

Our Verdict

Approach this 2014 Dacia Sandero diesel with caution and a pre-purchase inspection. The recent November 2025 MOT failure for braking and lighting faults was quickly rectified, but the pattern of repeat failures suggests deferred maintenance.

Before buying, obtain the full service history and confirm the November 2025 repairs (parking brake, horn, engine MIL) were carried out properly, as the failure just five days before the pass suggests a rushed fix. Use the recorded faults to negotiate — the 138,445-mile failure with inoperative parking brake and non-working horn indicates the previous owner may have delayed upkeep, so budget for a thorough independent inspection. For this model, check the timing belt interval on the 1.5 dCi diesel as Dacia recommends replacement regardless of mileage by age, and verify it has been done.

The 1461cc diesel engine typically returns strong fuel economy, though no specific figures are in the provided data; road tax for a 2014 diesel Sandero is usually in a lower band but confirm the exact rate via DVLA. Insurance groups for early Sanderos are low, keeping premiums modest, and routine maintenance is cheap due to simple mechanicals. Based on the high mileage and diesel running, we estimate annual running costs of £900-£1,200 including fuel, tax, insurance, and typical servicing.

Inspect the offside front constant velocity boot noted as severely deteriorated at 117,451 miles in 2023 — confirm it was replaced and check for grease leakage or joint play. Verify the parking brake operates evenly on both sides following the November 2025 inoperative-side failure, and test the horn and engine warning light function as both failed that test. Check all headlamps and dipswitch operation given the 2023 double headlamp failure, and review the engine for any underlying fault triggering the MIL before clearance.

This silver 2014 Dacia Sandero 1.5-litre diesel (MF64AAX) has covered 138,567 miles as of its December 2025 MOT pass, which is high for an 11-year-old car. The MOT history shows two failures in 2023 and 2025 for headlamps, dipswitch, parking brake, horn, and engine warning light issues, though all were addressed and the latest test is clean. Without model aggregate data, reliability must be judged on this vehicle's own record, which shows recurring but fixable faults rather than structural concerns.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Dacia Sandero, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.
