2013 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · SL63 AAY

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at its most recent inspection. The May 2025 test at 97,099 miles returned a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful result in May 2023 at 86,907 miles and May 2022 at 82,197 miles. While the vehicle recorded a failure on 29 April 2024 at 91,935 miles, it passed immediately upon retest on the same day, suggesting the issue was a minor non-compliance rather than a significant mechanical or structural failure. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical 13-year-old vehicle. Averaging approximately 7,469 miles per year, the car shows a steady progression from 82,197 miles in 2022 to 97,099 miles in 2025. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which is generally positive for preventing seal degradation and fuel system issues. There are no signs of erratic mileage jumps or excessive annual usage that would indicate heavy commercial or high-stress driving. Given the clean recent history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should be on age-related wear rather than documented failures. At nearly 100,000 miles, the suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, should be checked for fatigue or perished rubber. You should also inspect the underside for surface corrosion on the exhaust system and structural mounting points. While the MOT history is clean, the transition from 91,935 miles to 97,099 miles in a year warrants a check of the brake pads and discs for wear depth and any signs of binding calipers.
