2014 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · CK14 NLT

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status following a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 1 March 2026 at 105,803 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car is currently meeting minimum legal standards. While the history shows two failures in 2024 and 2025, the immediate passes following those tests suggest that the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified mechanical faults once they were flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 15,325 miles, which represents a significant spike above the annual average, though the usage settled back to 15,848 miles in the final year leading to the 2026 test. This regular use is generally better for older components than long periods of standing, as it prevents seals from drying out and keeps braking components from seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in February 2024 and March 2025, although the provided summary does not list the exact mechanical causes. Given the age and mileage of this Dacia, a close look at the suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary to ensure no newated wear is affecting the structural integrity of the chassis. Check for corrosion on the brake lines and the condition of the exhaust system, as these are common areas of failure on this model as mileage approach six figures.
