2014 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · SH64 ADX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, following a clean MOT pass on June 2 2025 at 78,065 miles where no defects were recorded. This indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the period of instability seen in mid-2023. While the car suffered two failures during that specific window, the most recent inspection suggests that previous mechanical issues were addressed and that the vehicle is currently meeting all minimum safety standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with low-average annual usage, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between the July 2022 test at 68,767 miles and the July 2023 test at 74,508 miles, the car covered 5,741 miles. The subsequent interval saw 3,557 miles covered between July 2023 and June 2025. This relatively low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to dry seals or rubber degradation due to inactivity. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the areas that caused the two failures in July 2023, although the record provided does not detail the specific mechanical faults for those entries. Given the failures occurred within 234 miles of each other, it is likely they were related to consumable items such as bulbs, tyres, or minor brake adjustments. Despite the age of the Sanero, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and an inspection of the suspension bushes are necessary, as these are common points of failure on this model regardless of low mileage.
