2026 Dacia Spring Extreme EV Electric · AF26 OSJ

There is no DVSA MOT test history available for this 2026 Dacia Spring Extreme EV, and as of the assessment date of September 2026 the vehicle is essentially brand new. Because it is under three years old, it is currently exempt from the statutory MOT testing requirement, so the absence of any recorded test is entirely normal and carries no negative implication regarding its roadworthiness. With no prior test outcomes, advisories, or failure records to analyse, there is no longitudinal maintenance trend to evaluate. The prospective buyer should treat the lack of history as expected rather than as a red flag, and any pre-purchase concerns will need to be addressed through independent inspection rather than reliance on government records. The recorded mileage is listed as unknown, and the mileage context indicates there is insufficient data to compare annual usage against the vehicle age. For a near-new electric vehicle of this age, typical annual mileage tends to fall somewhere between six and twelve thousand miles depending on whether it is used primarily for urban commuting or longer mixed journeys, but without confirmed figures any assessment of usage rate is speculative. A very low accumulated mileage on a nearly new car is not automatically a positive indicator, as vehicles that have spent extended periods standing can develop issues unrelated to wear, such as brake disc surface corrosion, 12V auxiliary battery degradation, or degradation of brake fluid and coolant through calendar ageing rather than use. Conversely, if the vehicle has been driven frequently from new, mechanical wear should be minimal but the buyer should still verify consistent service history. For a nearly new electric vehicle with no MOT history, the practical inspection priorities shift away from wear items and towards build quality, delivery condition, and the integrity of the high-voltage system. The buyer should verify that the main traction battery state of health matches the expected capacity for a vehicle of its age and mileage, as any significant degradation at this stage could indicate storage or charging issues. The charging cable and onboard charger should be inspected for damage, and the vehicle should be presented for a test drive that includes a full charging cycle to confirm normal operation and realistic range. On a physical level, the tyres should be examined for sidewall cracking or perishing, which can occur even on low-mileage vehicles if they have been exposed to environmental conditions for an extended period, and the brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or evidence of seized calipers, which are common after prolonged standing. The cabin and ancillary systems deserve attention equivalent to any mechanical inspection. The 12V auxiliary battery, which powers auxiliary electronics and safety systems, should be load tested as these units can degrade prematurely if the vehicle has been left unused for extended periods. All fluid reservoirs, including brake fluid, coolant for the thermal management system, and windscreen washer fluid, should be checked for correct levels and any signs of contamination, with attention paid to the brake fluid particularly as it is hygroscopic and degrades over time regardless of mileage. The vehicle documentation should be examined to confirm that any pre-delivery inspection has been completed, that software is up to date, and that any remaining manufacturer warranty is intact and transferable. Any service history, even from the supplying dealer, should be cross-referenced with the in-car service interval indicators to confirm consistency.
