DACIA SANDERO2017 · 0.9L Petrol

The 2017 Dacia Sandero demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-08-12 at 28,221 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also showed passes with no issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s low mileage of 28,221 for its age suggests infrequent use, which may reduce wear on components like brakes and suspension but could also imply prolonged periods of inactivity, potentially affecting fluid integrity or electrical systems. The MOT history reveals a steady mileage progression, with annual increases of approximately 4,000–5,000 miles. From 17,224 miles in 2021 to 28,221 in 2025, the pattern shows no abrupt spikes or extended gaps, reflecting regular but light usage. This consistency aligns with the vehicle’s low annual average of 3,136 miles, though it does not confirm active maintenance beyond MOT compliance. The absence of advisories or failures over five consecutive tests suggests the owner prioritized basic upkeep, though deeper mechanical scrutiny is still advised. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask age-related degradation. Check brake discs for uneven wear and calipers for binding, as these often develop over time without MOT detection. Corrosion in body panels, particularly around wheel arches and under the chassis, warrants attention due to potential exposure during storage. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be verified, as these are not assessed in routine MOTs but are critical for long-term reliability.
