2015 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · BF64 XEZ

The 2015 Dacia Sandero demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-07-14 at 54,427 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, the 2024-07-25 test shows conflicting outcomes—both a pass and a fail listed for the same mileage, raising questions about administrative accuracy. The 2023 tests similarly show a fail and pass within days, though no defects were noted. These inconsistencies suggest potential procedural errors rather than mechanical issues, but the absence of recorded defects in the latest test indicates the vehicle meets current standards. Mileage progression reveals a low annual average of 4,948 miles, reflecting light usage or extended periods of inactivity. The 2023-07-18 failure at 47,258 miles and subsequent pass at 47,270 miles two days later imply minimal wear, while the 2024-07-25 test at 51,387 miles shows no defects. The steady mileage increase over 11 years suggests the car has not experienced rapid deterioration, though low usage may require closer inspection of components prone to degradation when stationary, such as the battery and brake system. A physical inspection should prioritise the suspension, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are common wear points in this model. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as low-mileage vehicles may develop stiffness. Additionally, the exhaust system and body corrosion should be examined, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust in vulnerable areas. The MOT history lacks specific mechanical failures, but the vehicle’s maintenance pattern warrants cautious evaluation to confirm its operational integrity.
