2014 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · AE64 RZX

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 July 2025 at 45,606 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failure with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in July 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed cleanly at 43,551, 40,575, and 36,460 miles respectively. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or worsening conditions across the five-year record. At roughly 3,800 miles per year, the 45,606 recorded miles are low for a 2014 vehicle. The odometer climbed just 2,146 miles between the July 2022 and July 2023 tests, then 2,976 miles to July 2024, and only 2,055 miles to the July 2025 test. This gentle, consistent accumulation points to light use, likely short local journeys or extended standing periods. The clean MOT history gives no evidence of skipped tests or abrupt mileage jumps that would signal concealed wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Low-mileage Dacias of this era are prone to underbody corrosion on structural members and suspension mounting points if stored outdoors. Check the front coil springs, lower suspension bushes, and brake discs for surface rust or pitting from disuse. Verify the dual 7 July 2025 entries with DVSA to confirm the failure was a clerical error and not a withdrawn test. Beyond that, the Sandero's record implies a careful previous owner who kept basic upkeep current, leaving only age-related perishables like tyres and wiper blades as the realistic watch points.
