2015 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · CA65 ADV

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 23 December 2025 at 54,636 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of passing every inspection without a single noted fault, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance or very light duty cycles. The mileage is notably low for an eleven-year-old car, averaging under 5,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase in usage over the last few years, rising from 30,889 miles in December 2021 to 54,636 miles by December 2025. The most significant jump occurred between December 2023 and December 2024, where the vehicle covered over 8,000 miles. This indicates the car has transitioned from very light use to more regular commuting. Despite the flawless MOT history, the low annual mileage introduces specific risks associated with vehicle dormancy. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as brakes often degrade when not used frequently. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, should be examined for perishing or dry rot regardless of the tread depth. The absence of any structural corrosion or suspension advisories over five years is rare for this age of vehicle. However, a manual check of the oil condition and a review of service intervals are necessary to ensure the engine has been maintained despite the low mileage. The data suggests a well-cared-for vehicle, but the physical inspection must focus on the effects of under-use rather than wear and tear.
