2016 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · AE03 AUD

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 16 October 2025 at 34,866 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,487 miles per year. Between 20 October 2022 and 16 October 2025, the odometer moved from 31,586 to 34,866 miles, confirming a very light usage pattern of only 3,280 miles over three years. The record shows a failure and immediate pass on 17 October 2024 at 33,491 miles, though the lack of listed defects suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial fault rectified on site. Low mileage often masks issues related to vehicle stagnation rather than wear. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, as infrequent use can lead to seized components. The tyres should be checked for flat spots or perishing due to age, regardless of the remaining tread depth. The absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural rust is positive. However, given the low annual mileage, a manual check of the battery health and fluid degradation is advised. The history indicates a well-preserved example, provided the low usage has not led to the degradation of rubber seals or gaskets.
