2021 Dacia Sandero Sway Prestige TCE CVT 1.0L Petrol · CF71 UMT

This Dacia Sandero has covered a very modest 14,827 miles over its five-year lifespan, averaging under 3,000 miles per year. While this suggests the vehicle has seen light usage, low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from issues related to long periods of inactivity, such as seized components or premature degradation of rubber seals and tyres. The MOT history is generally positive, with no recorded failures, but it does highlight a pattern of consumable wear that requires attention. The most recent test in December 2025 noted that the front brake pads are wearing thin. This is a common maintenance item, but it confirms that the braking system will need immediate inspection and likely replacement in the near future. The previous MOT in 2024 flagged a tyre nearing its legal limit. Given that the vehicle has only covered roughly 4,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, the fact that brake pads have now become an advisory suggests that the car is being driven in a way that consumes friction materials, or perhaps that the components are aging despite the low mileage. The overall trend is stable, as the car has passed every test, but it is entering a phase where wear-and-tear items are beginning to show their age. Because the mileage is so low, you should be wary of potential under-use. Vehicles that sit for long durations can develop corrosion on brake discs or issues with battery health.
