Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

A consistent record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT passed on 11 April 2026 showing no defects. The absence of any recorded failures or advisories across the available testing history indicates that the vehicle has met all statutory safety and environmental standards without any flagged issues regarding structural integrity, braking efficiency, or lighting systems. The recorded mileage of 31,110 miles over approximately four years represents a typical usage pattern, averaging roughly 7,778 miles per year. This level of annual accumulation suggests regular, moderate use rather than excessive motorway mileage or long periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this rate of use typically results in predictable wear on consumable components such as brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushes, without the extreme degradation often associated with high-mileage commercial use or the potential for fluid stagnation found in very low-mileage vehicles. Given the lack of specific defects or advisories in the DVSA history, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the current state of the components that are most susceptible to wear at this mileage interval. While the MOT record is clear, a test drive should be used to monitor for any developing irregularities in the suspension or steering, such as subtle knocks or knocks when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate the early stages of wear in the shock absorbers or control arm bushes. Furthermore, the driver should pay close attention to the braking performance and steering response. Any perceptible pedal judder or pulling to one side during braking could indicate uneven wear on the brake discs or binding calipers, even if not yet significant enough to trigger an MOT advisory. Monitoring the engine's smoothness and checking for any visible oil misting around the engine bay will ensure that the current clean record is reflected in the vehicle's actual mechanical state.

Our Verdict

This 2022 Dacia Sandero Comfort TCe repr

Given that this Sandero is approaching its fourth birthday with only one MOT on file, you have limited MOT history to lean on, so mechanical reassurance will need to come from other sources. Insist on seeing a full service history — ideally a Dacia main dealer or independent specialist stamp trail — because the Sandero's timing chain on the TCe 90 engine benefits from regular oil changes. Negotiate with reference to the high recorded mileage relative to the model average, and budget for likely near-term replacement of tyres and brake components, which are the most common MOT failure points for this model.

When viewing, carry out a cold-start check and listen for any timing chain rattle, which has been reported on TCe units, and inspect the clutch for slipping under load. Check the rear suspension for corrosion on cars that have seen winter use, and verify the air conditioning works on all settings — Comfort trim should include climate control. Confirm that the infotainment screen and any smartphone mirroring functions work correctly, since electrical gremlins are easier to resolve under warranty if any remain.

The 999cc TCe petrol engine is one of the most economical choices in the supermini class, with real-world fuel economy typically in the mid-40s mpg. Road tax is modest given the Euro 6AP rating, and insurance sits in a low group, making this an affordable everyday car. Servicing is inexpensive compared with rivals, with main dealer or specialist visits typically well under £200 outside of cambelt or major item replacement.

Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance should fall in the region of £1,100-£1,400, assuming moderate mileage. Factor in £150-£300 for replacement tyres within the next 12-18 months and similar for brake consumables, given that these are the most common MOT failures across the Sandero range. Overall, this remains one of the cheapest cars to run on the UK market.

Although this particular Sandero has passed its only MOT without advisories, the model's aggregate data flags windscreen wipers, tyres, and excessively worn service brakes as the top failure causes — so inspect these areas carefully. Check all four tyres for even wear and a minimum of 3mm tread, since uneven wear can indicate tracking or suspension issues. Examine the brake discs and pads through the wheels for lipping or low pad material, and confirm the handbrake holds firmly on an incline.

Beyond the MOT failure hotspots, inspect the underside for any corrosion, particularly around rear wheel arches and exhaust mounting points, which can affect budget cars used year-round. Verify all fluid levels are clean and topped up, and look under the car for any fresh oil stains when stationary. Finally, confirm the mileaged reading against the V5C and any service invoices to ensure consistency.

This AV22OCU Dacia Sandero Comfort TCe is a 999cc petrol hatchback first registered in April 2022, finished in white and meeting Euro 6AP emissions standards. Only one MOT test has been recorded, in April 2026 at 31,110 miles, which passed without any advisories or defects. With an average annual mileage of around 9,500 miles against the model average of 6,514, this car has been used slightly more than typical for its age group. The Sandero line as a whole posts a respectable 89.4% MOT pass rate across the 3,767 examples analysed.

Across 3,767 Dacia Sandero examples analysed, the model posts an 89.4% MOT pass rate, placing it roughly in line with the broader supermini segment rather than above it. Failures cluster around routine consumables rather than major mechanical defects, which is typical for affordable, lightly-engineered hatchbacks.
