DACIA SANDERO2016 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 3 December 2025 at 46,787 miles with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test on 27 November 2025, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor issue resolved immediately. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,679 miles per year. The distance covered between the December 2024 test at 37,982 miles and the December 2025 test at 46,787 miles shows a recent increase in usage, totaling 8,805 miles in a single year. This is significantly higher than the previous intervals, such as the 3,000 mile increase between 2022 and 2023. The absence of any advisories or failures across five years of testing is unusual for a vehicle of this age. This clean record implies a high standard of care or very light duty. However, low mileage cars often suffer from dormant issues. A buyer should specifically check for perishing rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to binding calipers or rusted rotors. Check for signs of oil leaks around the engine seals that may have developed during periods of standing. Given the lack of recorded faults, the primary focus should be on verifying that the vehicle has not spent extended periods inactive, which can impact battery health and fluid integrity.
