2016 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · CU16 MXM

The 2016 Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 9 July 2025 at 62,669 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage has averaged close to 6,267 miles, consistent with typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The records show steady, linear accumulation: 36,294 miles in July 2021, 41,779 in July 2022, 47,674 in June 2023, 53,518 in July 2024, and 62,669 in July 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, with every entry listing zero defects across suspension, brakes, emissions, and structure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. Low annual use often masks perished rubber components and stagnant fluid degradation that a static test cannot reveal. Examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition for corrosion or binding calipers, particularly given the car's age. Verify underside structural integrity for rust at sill and subframe mounting points. Confirm cambelt interval compliance per Dacia schedule, as the MOT does not assess internal drivetrain wear. The absence of advisories implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but in-person checks remain essential before purchase.
