2013 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · SK63 ACJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass on 08 May 2025 at 129,549 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has successfully passed inspections without recorded advisories or recurring defects. While the history shows failures in April 2023 and May 2025, the immediate re-tests suggest that the owner is proactive in rectifying faults rather than allowing them to escalate into mechanical degradation or structural failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year over thirteen years. Between the April 2023 test at 119,091 miles and the May 2024 test at 124,566 miles, the car covered 5,475 miles. The subsequent interval between May 2024 and May 2025 saw another 4,983 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use which often reduces the risk of seizing brake components or suspension components compared to a vehicle that sits stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower suspension components and braking system, which are common wear points for Dacia models of this era. Although the most recent record shows no advisories, a manual check of the front control arm bushes and corrosion on the coil springs remains necessary. Given the previous failures, which appear minor and likely linked to consumable items like bulbs or minor mechanical adjustments, verify the state of the brake discs and pads to ensure no uneven wear is developing despite the high mileage.
