2015 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · CU15 OPC

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 2025-02-06 at 128,128 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, though the history shows a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by swift passes. The most recent failure on 2025-01-28 at 128,125 miles and an earlier failure on 2023-07-13 at 124,197 miles both recorded no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical faults. Mileage accumulation is broadly typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging around 11,648 miles per year. The record moves from 114,039 miles at the July 2022 test to 124,252 miles by July 2023, then to 128,128 miles by February 2025. This reflects a slowdown in annual use, with under 4,000 miles added across the final eighteen months. The gaps between tests are narrow and the data is clean, showing no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear despite the absent advisories. The two failure-then-pass cycles within days suggest the previous owner deferred minor preparation such as washer fluid top-up or number plate legibility rather than addressing deep faults. No recurring mechanical trend emerges from the record. Given the clean test outcomes and modest mileage, the Sandero shows signs of basic but sufficient upkeep. Verify tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and underbody rust during viewing, as these items fall outside MOT failure thresholds until critical. The vehicle's history supports a sound purchase subject to standard pre-sale checks.
