2016 Dacia Sandero Stepway Laureate DCI 1.5L Diesel · YJZ 8026

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection on 22 May 2025 at 92,354 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. This clean result follows a period of successful passes in the previous two years, suggesting that the owner has addressed necessary mechanical requirements as they arise. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per annum. Between July 2022 and July 2024, the car covered roughly 21,600 miles, representing a steady rate of use. A brief anomaly occurred in July 2023 when the vehicle failed a test at 71,808 miles but passed a re-test just 30 miles later at 71,838 miles. This suggests a minor component failure or a consumable item that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical issue or neglect. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the latest tests, a physical inspection should focus on the current state of components prone to wear at this mileage. The buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and springs for signs of per, as the MOT does not flag minor degradation until it becomes a failure. Brake discs should be inspected for thinning or uneven wear, and the chassis should be examined for emerging corrosion, particularly around the sills and mounting points, to ensure structural integrity remains sound as the vehicle ages further.
