Our Verdict
This Dacia Sandero is a strong candidate for a budget-friendly purchase given its consistent recent MOT performance. Prospective buyers should feel confident, though a thorough physical inspection remains essential to confirm the condition of wear-and-tear items.
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a check of the service history to see if the 0.9-litre engine has received its scheduled oil and filter changes, as these are critical for longevity. Given the Sandero's position as a budget-focused vehicle, ensure all interior plastics and electrical features, such as the infotainment and climate controls, are fully functional.
Negotiate based on the condition of the consumables. Even though the MOT history shows no recent defects, check the remaining thickness on the brake pads and the tread depth on all tyres, as these are common wear items that may require replacement in the near future.
The 898cc engine is designed for efficiency and falls into a lower insurance group, making it an accessible choice for younger drivers or those looking to minimise monthly outgoings. Fuel economy is generally favourable for this engine size, though real-world figures will depend on your typical driving mix of urban and motorway miles.
Annual road tax is calculated based on standard petrol emission rates for a 2019 vehicle. Maintenance costs are typically lower than average for the segment due to the availability of parts and the simple mechanical architecture of the Dacia platform. You should budget for annual servicing to keep the vehicle running as intended.
While the recent MOT history is clean, focus your physical inspection on the common failure points for this model, specifically the anti-roll bar linkages and drive shaft joints. Listen for any knocking sounds from the suspension when driving over uneven surfaces, as these components can wear out over time.
Additionally, inspect the brake system thoroughly. Although no brake-related failures have been recorded, the model aggregate data highlights brake pads as a common failure point. Check the discs for any signs of pitting or heavy corrosion, and ensure the handbrake holds firmly on an incline.
Registered in March 2019, this white Dacia Sandero has covered 42,482 miles over seven years. The vehicle shows a positive MOT history with four consecutive passes since 2022. While it did record a single failure in July 2022, the subsequent three annual tests have been completed without any recorded defects or advisories.
The Dacia Sandero generally performs in line with industry expectations, with the 0.9-litre petrol engine being a well-understood unit across the Renault-Dacia group.
