2019 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · BD19 THK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history shows a trend of worsening brake component condition. While the most recent test on March 24 2026 at 65,392 miles passed, the tester flagged the front brake discs as pitted and scored. This follows an advisory from March 2025 at 54,039 miles regarding both thin brake pads and scored discs. The persistence of these issues across two consecutive years suggests the front braking assembly has not been fully refreshed since the previous warning. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per annum. Between March 2022 at 18,201 miles and March 2024 at 44,135 miles, the car covered over 26,000 miles, indicating a period of higher use. The lack of recorded defects during the 2022 to 2024 tests suggests the vehicle was in a good mechanical state during that interval before the wear began to manifest in the more recent inspections. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the discs and pads have been replaced since the March 2026 test. Given the recurring pitting and scoring, it is vital to check for caliper sticking or excessive play which could cause such surface degradation. Since no structural corrosion or suspension faults have appeared in the records, the primary focus should remain on verifying that the consumable items are being maintained to a professional standard to prevent future failures.
