2018 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · SH18 ABN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data. The most recent test on 8 November 2023 at 48,893 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows two failures on the same days as passes, the absence of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved immediately during the test. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for an eight year old car, averaging roughly 6,112 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between September 2022 and November 2023, where the odometer rose from 30,065 to 48,893 miles. This indicates a period of higher intensity use over approximately 14 months, though the lack of recorded faults during this climb suggests the drivetrain and suspension handled the increased load without immediate failure. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no advisories for brake disc wear, tyre tread, or suspension bushes across multiple tests. This lack of data is atypical for a vehicle of this age and suggests either a very meticulous maintenance regime or a tester who provided a superficial assessment. A buyer should independently verify the condition of the brake pads and the depth of the tyre treads, as these consumables are not flagged in the record. Given the car has not seen an MOT since November 2023, it is currently overdue for a test relative to the July 2026 date. An inspection should focus on signs of corrosion on the underbody and the integrity of the exhaust system, as these structural elements often deteriorate during periods of inactivity or missed annual inspections. Check for any perished rubber seals or leaking shock absorbers that may have developed since the last recorded pass.
