DACIA SANDERO2015 · 1.5L Diesel

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 28 October 2025 at 97,586 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. A failed test logged on the same date at identical mileage but with no defects listed suggests an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent pass confirms the vehicle met statutory standards. Across the five-year record from October 2022 to October 2025, every test resulted in a pass with zero advisories, indicating no escalating wear or recurring defects. The odometer advanced from 47,640 miles at the October 2022 test to 67,352 miles by October 2023, then 86,204 miles by October 2024, reaching 97,586 miles by October 2025. This equates to annual increments of roughly 19,700, 18,850, and 11,400 miles, all above the implied average of 8,871 miles per year for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The sparse yet clean record shows no gaps in testing and no sudden mileage drops that would imply long standing periods; the car has seen consistent, slightly heavier-than-typical use. Given the absence of any flagged advisories across the history, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not always captured at test: brake disc thickness, suspension bush condition, and exhaust corrosion. The tester recorded no structural integrity concerns, yet a 2015 vehicle approaching 98,000 miles warrants scrutiny of coil springs and subframe rust that a pass with no defects does not preclude. Verify the October 2025 fail-with-no-defect entry with DVSA to rule out a clerical error before purchase.
