2020 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · CV20 LJO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean test result in April 2026 at 50,431 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a significant failure in March 2026 was immediately addressed. While the most recent history revealed multiple non-compliance issues related to lighting and tyre condition, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that the previous owner is reactive to safety-critical failures once they are identified. The' pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. The data shows regular usage, with 12,621 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 16,357 miles between April 2025 and March 2026. This acceleration suggests the car has been used frequently recently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components, rubber seals, and battery health. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the rear suspension, as the March 2026 failure noted the offside rear tyre was worn on the edge and below the legal limit. This often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent further tyre degradation. Additionally, while the fog lamp was replaced following the lens damage, ensure the housing is secure and free of moisture to prevent electrical faults. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake failures, which is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age. The 2025 failure regarding the washer fluid was a minor maintenance oversight and does not suggest deeper mechanical neglect. Focus the physical check on the remaining tread depth of all four tyres to ensure the wear pattern remains uniform across the axle.
