2015 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · AF65 XRY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent test in September 2022 at 19,704 miles, which passed with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving trend compared to previous years where minor advisories were frequently flagged. However, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT in nearly four years, meaning the current roadworthiness is unverified and expired. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,800 miles per year. Data from September 2018 at 12,208 miles to September 2022 at 19,704 miles shows an accumulation of only 7,496 miles over a four-year period. While low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between uses often lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluids due to age and exposure to elements rather than mechanical friction. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the tyres and rubber components due to a clear history of age-related material failure. The tester repeatedly flagged perishing and cracking on multiple tyres between 2019 and 2021, suggesting the car likely sat stationary for long periods. You should check for sidewall cracking and dry rot on the current tyres, as low tread depth often masks these structural weaknesses. Additionally, the 2019 report of a distorted outer bead on the nearside front road wheel warrants a check for rim damage or uneven seating that could cause slow pressure loss.
