2015 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · NL65 AED

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the MOT history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by rectification. The most recent test on 21 February 2026 at 133,697 miles passed with no defects, following a failure just three days prior at ten miles lower. This suggests the previous owner is proactive in addressing MOT failures specifically to pass the test rather than maintaining a preventative long-term maintenance schedule. The mechanical trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed tests without recorded advisories in the last three successful inspections. At 133,697 miles over 11 years, this Sanero averages approximately 12,154 miles per year. This represents higher-than-average usage, which typically accelerates the wear on mechanical components and suspension bushings. There is a significant gap between the October 2023 test at 119,827 miles and the September 2025 test at 132,720 miles, during which the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles. This consistent mileage accumulation indicates the car is used as a commuter, placing constant stress on the drivetrain, clutch, and braking system. While the record shows no recurring structural corrosion or mechanical faults, the high mileage demands a thorough physical inspection of high-wear areas. A buyer should check the suspension arm bushes for perished and inspect the shock absorbers for leaks, as these components often fail at this mileage. Given the recent failures in 2025 and 2026, the specific reasons for those failures should be verified in person to ensure they were repaired properly rather than with temporary fixes.
