2017 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · CU17 OJS

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 February 2026 at 12,805 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the entire history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime. Annual mileage sits exceptionally low for a 2017 registration. The records show 9,473 miles in February 2022, rising to 10,267 in February 2023, 11,114 in February 2024, 11,860 in February 2025, and 12,805 in February 2026. That equates to roughly 930 miles added per year, or about 1,423 miles annually since first registration. Such limited use over nine years suggests prolonged standing periods between journeys rather than sustained daily driving. The clean MOT trail gives no cause to suspect worn suspension bushes, corroded structural members, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion, brake disc condition, and tyre sidewall cracking, as the DVSA test does not assess long-term storage degradation. Low-mileage cars left idle often develop perished rubber and seized calipers unseen by annual testing. Previous owners clearly kept basic statutory upkeep current, with no skipped tests or deferred failures on file. The absence of advisories points to either careful preservation or light duty cycles that avoided consumable stress. Verify service history independently, since MOT passes alone confirm legal minimum standards rather than full mechanical health.
