2019 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · AE19 TGF

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 2 October 2025 at 42,739 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories raised at any stage. The repeated fail-and-pass pairs on the same dates in 2024 and 2025 suggest administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, as no defects were listed on either the failures or the subsequent passes. Recorded mileage sits at 42,739 miles against a 2019 registration, equating to roughly 6,100 miles per year and reflecting typical use for the vehicle's age. The odometer moved from 29,305 miles at the February 2022 test to 36,254 miles by October 2024, then to 42,739 miles by October 2025. This shows a consistent annual accumulation of around 6,000 miles with no sudden spikes or dormant periods that would point to accelerated wear or prolonged standing. The gap between the 2022 and 2024 tests leaves a 32-month window with no official record, though the later readings confirm steady private-use patterns rather than fleet or high-stress operation. The absence of any flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across all three test years indicates the previous owners kept basic upkeep current. Failing twice on the same days with no defects recorded points to clerical rejection at the centre, not skipped consumable replacement such as tyres or wiper blades. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion and check the condition of brake calipers and flexible hoses, as MOT cleanliness at low mileage does not rule out latent moisture trapped in sills. Verify the V5C and test station notes for the 2024 and 2025 duplicate entries before purchase.
