2020 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · AV69 XRC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 23 February 2026 at 77,285 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes over the last year, suggesting the car is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is high for a six year old vehicle, averaging nearly 13,000 miles per year. A significant spike in usage occurred between 25 March 2025 and 18 November 2025, where the odometer climbed from 59,552 to 77,064 miles. This indicates the car covered over 17,000 miles in just eight months, likely reflecting heavy motorway use or a period of intensive commuting. The MOT history is unusually clean for a high-mileage Dacia. While the record shows two failures on 24 March 2025 and 18 November 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly. There are no recurring mentions of suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions problems, which is atypical for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear consumables that the MOT may not flag as failures until they reach a critical limit. Given the rapid mileage accumulation, check the depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake pads. Inspect the suspension components for play and check the engine oil condition to ensure the previous owner maintained the service intervals despite the heavy usage.
