2019 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · BT69 AEJ

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy following a failed MOT test on 16 January 2026 at 80,230 miles. While the record shows a clean history of passes in previous years, the most recent failure indicates an outstanding issue that must be resolved before the car can be legally driven. The maintenance trend appears stable over the long term, but the current status is a critical point of concern. Mileage accumulation has increased significantly in the last two years. The car covered roughly 25,000 miles between March 2023 and March 2025, but the distance climbed sharply to 80,230 miles by January 2026. This represents a surge of over 17,000 miles in less than a year. Such rapid usage often accelerates the wear of high-friction components and drivetrain elements. A buyer should focus on consumables and wear-and-tear items during a physical inspection. The lack of recorded advisories in previous tests is positive, but the sudden jump in mileage suggests that brake discs, pads, and tyre treads may be nearing the end of their service life. Particular attention should be paid to the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade under increased load and mileage. The absence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the history suggests a well-kept chassis. However, the specific reason for the January 2026 failure is not detailed in the provided data. Verifying the exact repair required to clear this failure is the primary priority to ensure the vehicle returns to a roadworthy state.
