2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · CK18 ABX

The Dacia Sandero presents a broadly roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 27 March 2026 at 47,695 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual examinations from March 2023 through March 2025 similarly logged clean passes, indicating consistent mechanical condition. The sole anomaly appears in a failure logged on 2 April 2024 at 33,488 miles with no defects cited, a circumstance that suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a deterioration in vehicle integrity. Mileage accumulation sits low for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,962 miles per year against the recorded 47,695 miles to date. The odometer advanced from 26,714 miles at the 20 March 2023 test to 33,488 miles by 2 April 2024, then to 39,569 miles on 26 March 2025 and 47,695 miles on 27 March 2026. These increments show gentle yearly use with a slight uptick in the final period, and no abrupt gaps or high intensity cycling that would accelerate drivetrain wear. The test history remains sparse in advisories, reflecting either careful ownership or limited rigorous inspection depth. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable and structural elements not surfaced by the MOT record. Low mileage combined with possible extended standing invites degraded suspension bushes, tired coil springs, and superficial corrosion on brake discs or underbody members. The tester never flagged binding calipers or exhaust emissions faults, yet visual checks of structural integrity around sills and subframes remain prudent. Previous owners clearly met statutory test requirements without recurring defects, but absence of advisories does not certify component lifespan.
