2019 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · CU19 KHW

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 23,481 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of annual passes since the first recorded MOT in February 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work at test stage. Annual mileage has remained consistently low for a 2019 registered car. The record shows 10,986 miles at the 21 February 2022 test, rising to 14,527 by 23 February 2023, 17,936 by 20 February 2024, 21,589 by 26 February 2025, and 23,481 by 25 February 2026. That equates to roughly 3,350 miles added each year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. Such light use over seven years suggests the car spent extended periods idle, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop despite the clean test sheet. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage cars left standing often suffer from seized handbrake mechanisms or flat-spotted tyres unseen by the MOT. The absence of recorded advisories means the tester found no excessive play in steering joints or worn brake discs, but DVSA checks do not strip components. Given the unbroken pass record and minimal yearly use, prior owners appear to have kept the Sandero lightly exercised and legally compliant. The clean history offers strong assurance of structural integrity, though pre-purchase checks on underbody corrosion and fluid condition remain sensible on any low-use vehicle of this age.
