2019 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · CU19 RCY

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 April 2026 at 31,143 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since March 2023. The mileage pattern shows consistently low annual use for a 2019 vehicle. From the 1 March 2023 test at 7,101 miles, the car covered just 8,559 miles to the 15 April 2025 test at 22,660 miles, then a further 8,483 miles to April 2026. The earlier 28 February 2023 failure at 7,100 miles recorded no defects, suggesting an administrative or test-procedure issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the immediate pass the next day confirms the vehicle was sound. Given the clean advisory history across all tests, no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, or corrosion problems appear in the record. The low standing-to-running ratio implied by roughly 4,449 miles per year means components such as tyres, brake calipers, and coil springs may have aged through inactivity rather than worn through use. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, plus check for perished rubber mounts and flat-spotted tyres from prolonged storage. The absence of MOT advisories does not exempt the car from age-related degradation invisible to the annual test.
