Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage, modern hatchback. The consistent MOT pass record with no defects across three years suggests a vehicle that has met basic regulatory standards consistently.
When viewing this 2020 Sandero, focus on verifying the service history to supplement the clean MOT record, as MOTs only test specific safety and environmental items. Given the 998cc petrol engine, check for smooth idling and consistent performance during a test drive.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded defects, the wider model data suggests being vigilant about the suspension and drivetrain. Use the opportunity to check the condition of the tyres and brakes, as these are common areas for maintenance requirements in similar vehicles.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing this vehicle in a lower insurance group and tax band compared to larger capacity hatchbacks. Fuel economy should be competitive for a small petrol engine of this era.
Maintenance costs for Dacia models are generally considered manageable due to the brand's focus on simplicity. You should budget for standard consumable items like tyres and brake pads, which are noted as common failure points across the wider Sandero model population.
Despite the clean MOT history for CA20OGE, you should pay close attention to the underside of the car. Aggregate data for this model highlights anti-roll bars, drive shaft joints, and brake pads as the most frequent MOT failure reasons.
Specifically, check for any play in the steering or unusual knocking sounds when driving over bumps, which could indicate issues with the anti-roll bar or drive shafts. Additionally, inspect the brake pads and discs for wear, as these are statistically significant failure points for this model type.
Registered in August 2020, this Blue Dacia Sandero has covered 31,239 miles as of its last MOT in July 2025. This mileage is significantly lower than the model average of 6,639 miles per year, which would suggest a total of roughly 39,834 miles for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows three consecutive passes with zero defects recorded, providing a clean regulatory paper trail.
Aggregate data for the Dacia Sandero shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.9%, with common failures related to suspension components and brakes.
