2015 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · CE65 AEA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 November 2025 at 119,776 miles. The maintenance trend appears reactive, characterized by a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. While the latest test recorded no defects, the history of failing twice on the same day in November 2025 suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues when necessary to pass the testing standard rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. The recorded mileage of 119,776 miles over an eleven-year period represents an average usage of approximately 10,889 miles per annum. This aligns closely with typical UK driving patterns for a small hatchback. The data shows a significant period of activity between the December 2024 test at 97,605 miles and the November 2025 test, where the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles in under eleven months. This surge in usage places accelerated wear on consumable components such as brake pads, tyre tread, and suspension bushings. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the components that likely caused the failures in late 2024 and 2025. Given the history of repeated failures followed by passes, the focus should be on checking for excessive play in the control arms, worn shock absorbers, and the condition of the exhaust system. The age and mileage also necessitate a close look at structural integrity, specifically the sills and subframes for corrosion, as these are common areas where 2015-era Dacia models begin to compromise at this mileage.
