2019 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · CA19 HSU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a maintenance trend that appears stable but reactive rather than proactive. The most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 18,975 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding low headlight aims. This follows a failure in late 2023 for thin brake pads and incorrect headlight alignment, suggesting the owner addresses mechanical faults only after a test failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual testing with small increments of travel between inspections. For instance, between the tests in December 2023 and December 2024, the car covered only 1,622 miles. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of low use can lead to secondary issues such as rubber perished tyres, flat spotting, or corrosion on brake components if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system because the November 2024 test flagged front brake discs that were worn, pitted, or scored. Despite the low mileage, these components show signs of surface degradation often caused by moisture accumulation during infrequent use. The 2022 record also noted both front tyres were near the legal limit and worn on the edge, which may indicate an alignment issue or uneven wear patterns. Verify the current age and condition of the tyres to ensure no sidewall cracking despite the seemingly high tread depth.
