2017 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · AV17 WOX

The 2026‑02‑24 MOT at 78,927 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the Dacia Sandero remains roadworthy at the time of testing. The record shows a stable maintenance pattern after the February 2023 failure, as the subsequent February 2025 and February 2026 tests displayed no faults despite the vehicle’s mileage increase. Mileage has risen from 46,428 miles in November 2020 to 78,927 miles in February 2026, an average of roughly 8,800 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s nine‑year age. The interval between the November 2020 and November 2021 tests covers about 11,000 miles, while the period from the February 2023 failure to the March 2023 pass adds only two miles, indicating that any mileage gaps are typical and not indicative of neglect. A buyer should therefore inspect the tyres for sidewall bulges, tread wear and proper inflation, given the 2023 offside rear tyre bulge and the 2021 perishing tyre note. The 2025 front brake pad wear calls for a close check of brake pads, discs and caliper movement for binding or corrosion. Finally, the earlier headlamp aim defect suggests verifying headlamp alignment and examining the chassis and suspension bushes for structural rust or damage.
