2016 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · CU65 YSV

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 January 2026 at 70,467 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 10 January 2025 at 57,407 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried forward. The vehicle shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the available history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,047 miles per year. Records show 33,955 miles in January 2023, 45,335 in January 2024, 57,407 in January 2025, and 70,467 in January 2026, a steady yearly increase of around 11,000 to 13,000 miles with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The test history is sparse but uniformly clean, which suggests consistent annual testing and basic upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. A failed test logged on 10 January 2025 at 57,406 miles shows no defects recorded, with a pass issued the same day at 57,407 miles; this points to an administrative or data-entry anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in any entry, so the record gives no signal of worsening wear on consumables or structural items. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of common age-related items not captured by a fault-free MOT, namely underbody corrosion, suspension bush condition, and brake caliper operation. The clean DVSA trail implies previous owners kept the car to minimum legal standard, but the absence of advisories means latent wear on tyres, wiper blades, and coil springs remains unverified until viewed in person.
