2015 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · AP64 EPY

The 2015 Dacia Sandero presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 15 September 2025 at 125,697 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, showing no recurring mechanical or structural failures across the documented history. A minor anomaly occurred on 10 January 2025 when the vehicle failed at 117,121 miles despite no defects being logged, though it passed ten days later on 20 January 2025 at 117,415 miles with no issues. This suggests a transient or administrative issue rather than a persistent mechanical fault. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical use for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 11,427 miles annually. The record shows consistent, steady usage without alarming gaps or sudden spikes. Between the December 2022 test at 87,036 miles and the January 2024 test at 101,833 miles, the car covered 14,797 miles over thirteen months, and it added another 15,582 miles in the twelve months leading to the January 2025 test. The most recent period from January 2025 to September 2025 saw a reduction to 8,282 miles over eight months, indicating a slight recent drop in usage or a shorter commuting pattern. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The absence of advisories does not preclude the presence of wear typical of a budget-oriented supermini. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which degrade naturally over 125,000 miles, alongside checking for any binding calipers or uneven wear on the brake discs and pads. Structural integrity demands scrutiny, particularly around the sills, subframes, and wheel arches, as corrosion can develop silently beneath underseal. Inspecting the exhaust system for leaks and verifying the condition of the tyres will confirm whether the owner has maintained basic consumable upkeep between these clean tests.
