2022 Dacia Sandero Sway Prestige LPG TCE 1.0L Gas bi-fuel · AK22 FXY

A consistently clean MOT record across the last two annual tests – both passed with no defects recorded in March 2025 and again in March 2026 – shows that, to date, the vehicle has not presented any measurable safety‑critical issues to the DVSA examiner. At 42 056 mi after just under four years of age the average annual accumulation sits around 10 500 mi, which aligns with typical private‑use patterns for a compact hatchback. The MOT history contains no gaps; the vehicle has been tested each year without a missed test, suggesting continuous road use rather than prolonged storage, and the mileage progression appears linear rather than indicative of a sudden high‑kilometre stint. Although the MOT data reveal no specific component failures, a prudent pre‑purchase inspection should still confirm the condition of items that routinely experience wear on a vehicle of this age and mileage. Examine the front and rear suspension bushes and shock absorbers for any looseness, creaking, or excessive play when the car is driven over uneven surfaces; a binding or noisy suspension could signal deteriorating bushings or worn mounts. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uniform thickness and any scoring, and test the pedal for a firm, progressive feel without pulsation, which would highlight hidden rotor warping or uneven pad wear. Given the LPG conversion, verify that the fuel tank, pressure regulator and associated piping are free of corrosion, leaks or unusual smells, and listen for any hissing during operation. A brief road test should also include a check for smooth engine response at low and high revs, absence of abnormal exhaust smoke and stable idle, as these observations will help confirm that the powertrain and emission control systems have remained within acceptable limits despite the lack of recorded MOT advisories.
