2015 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · CA65 ACY

The 2015 Dacia Sandero currently holds a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT conducted on 4 November 2025 at 42,525 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, as the vehicle has achieved five consecutive clean passes since November 2021. The absence of advisories over this five-year period indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance and suggests the vehicle has been kept in a reliable mechanical state by its previous keepers. The vehicle displays a low-mileage profile, averaging approximately 3,866 miles per year over its eleven-year lifespan. The odometer progression is linear and consistent, showing no evidence of long-term storage or periods of inactivity that might otherwise lead to perished rubber seals, seized brake components, or fuel system degradation. Between the November 2021 test at 38,126 miles and the latest inspection, the car has covered roughly 4,400 miles, confirming it remains in regular, light use rather than sitting idle for extended durations. Given the lack of flagged defects in the MOT history, the primary focus for a physical inspection should shift toward common Dacia wear items that may not trigger an MOT failure until they reach an advanced state of degradation. Inspect the front suspension wishbone bushes and ball joints for signs of play, as these components often wear on UK roads before showing up on an annual test. Check the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion, which can occur even on low-mileage vehicles if they are not driven frequently enough to clear the friction surfaces. Finally, verify the structural integrity of the exhaust system and check for any signs of weeping from the shock absorbers, as these are typical areas where age-related fatigue may begin to manifest despite a clean testing record.
