DACIA SANDERO2014 · 1.1L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 January 2026 at 81,816 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern; while the vehicle failed in both 2024 and 2025, the issues were clearly rectified immediately to achieve subsequent clean passes. This suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing mechanical failures once identified by the testing centre. The mileage profile is consistent with typical low-annual usage, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year over its twelve-year life. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 12,132 miles, followed by an additional 12,368 miles leading to the January 2026 test. This steady annual accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for engine seals, brake components, and tyres to prevent premature corrosion or seizing. While the most recent test showed no advisories, a buyer should investigate the specific nature of the failures in early 2024 and 2025. Since the records provided do not list the specific reasons for those initial failures, a physical inspection is required to check for recurring wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust components. Given the age of the Dacia Sandero, close attention should be paid to structural integrity along the sills and wheel arches to ensure that the previous failures were not related to developing corrosion that might now be hidden.
