2022 Dacia Sandero Stepway Prestige TCE 1.0L Petrol · CV22 PWO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards developing component wear in the most recent inspection. While the car passed its April 2026 test at 17,224 miles, the tester identified several mechanical advisories that were absent from the previous year's clean record. This indicates that while the vehicle remains mechanically sound, specific parts are reaching the end of their service life and require attention. The mileage profile is low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per annum. Between the April 2025 test at 12,401 miles and the April 2026 test, the car covered 4,823 miles, showing consistent low usage patterns. This low mileage generally suggests less strain on the drivetrain and suspension, but it can also lead to flat spotting on tyres or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between journeys. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front tyre, which the tester recorded at 2.16mm, dangerously close to the 1.0mm legal limit. The noted wear on the edge suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Additionally, both front brake discs were flagged as worn during the 2026 test. While they did not cause a failure, the thinning of the metal suggests they will require replacement in the near future to ensure consistent braking performance and prevent judder.
