2016 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · CP16 AFJ

The 2016 Dacia Sandero demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all six MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent 2025 test at 83,139 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with prior results that showed consistent compliance. No recurring mechanical or structural faults were recorded, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards. The absence of advisories or critical failures suggests the car has not experienced significant wear or neglect in its maintenance history. The mileage progression reflects average annual usage, with 8,314 miles per year over the 10-year lifespan. Tests spaced approximately 12 months apart show steady mileage increases, from 46,224 miles in 2021 to 83,139 miles in 2025, with no abrupt spikes or extended periods of inactivity. This pattern implies regular use without prolonged standing, reducing risks of component degradation from neglect. The clean MOT record over this period further supports the conclusion that the vehicle has been driven and maintained within typical parameters for its age. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time without immediate MOT failure. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often develop gradually. The exhaust system and underbody should also be checked for rust, particularly in areas prone to corrosion. While the MOT history shows no red flags, these elements warrant physical examination to confirm continued safety and reliability.
