2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · NU68 AAX

The Dacia Sandero currently holds a valid MOT pass dated 19 November 2025 at 33,791 miles with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the recorded history is stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults at any test. The only anomaly appears in the examination two days earlier on 17 November 2025, where the vehicle failed at 33,788 miles yet the tester logged no defects. This suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a deterioration in mechanical condition. Mileage data indicates light use relative to the eight-year age. The October 2022 test at 16,689 miles and the November 2023 test at 19,113 miles show modest annual coverage near 2,400 miles. A stark standstill follows: the November 2024 test records just 19,452 miles, only 339 miles added in twelve months. The subsequent November 2025 tests reveal a sharp accumulation to 33,788 miles, implying roughly 14,300 miles covered in the intervening year. Such a pattern points to prolonged storage followed by intensified use, a profile that demands scrutiny of aged rubber and static corrosion. With no recurring faults or structural warnings in the official record, the buyer faces no flagged mechanical trends. Nevertheless, long dormant periods invite unseen degradation. Inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, check brake discs and calipers for corrosion and binding after standing, and examine exhaust emissions components for surface rust. Verify underbody structural integrity for any corrosion not yet penetrated. Tyres may exhibit sidewall cracking from age despite low tread wear. The unexplained fail on 17 November 2025 with zero defects warrants confirmation of the DVSA failure category through the certificate. Given the clean pass two days later, the vehicle likely remains roadworthy, but a physical inspection of the items above will confirm the Sandero's condition matches its sparse history.
