DACIA SANDERO STEPWAY LAUREATE TCE2018 · 0.9L Petrol

The Dacia Sandero Stepway presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 7 June 2024 at 38,198 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests on 5 May 2023 at 33,428 miles and 6 May 2022 at 27,638 miles also passed cleanly with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring mechanical issues, or unresolved defects across the three-year recorded span. The odometer reflects low usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,775 miles per year. Between the May 2022 and May 2023 tests the car covered 5,790 miles, then 4,770 miles to the June 2024 test, a consistent light-running pattern with no sudden accumulation. The MOT history is sparse and entirely clean, offering no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion to indicate skipped consumable upkeep. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's age and likely periods of standing, as the MOT record does not confirm these areas were examined beyond pass criteria. The absence of advisories on coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions suggests previous owners kept the vehicle to test standard, but low mileage can mask degraded rubber components and flat-spotted tyres from storage. Verify service history against the recorded mileages and confirm timing belts, fluids, and brake caliper operation in person, since a clean MOT does not evidence routine maintenance. The Dacia remains a sound used purchase on paper, with no mechanical red flags in the official record.
