2014 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · CX14 AEF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, maintaining a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2024 at 174,915 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded in July 2022, the vehicle was rectified and passed the subsequent test, suggesting that any identified faults were addressed promptly rather than allowed to persist. At 174,915 miles over 12 years, this Sandero has covered a high annual average of approximately 14,500 miles. This level of consistent usage typically implies frequent motorway driving, which can be kinder on the drivetrain and clutch than short-distance city trips. The mileage data shows steady accumulation with roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles recorded between annual tests from 2021 through 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been in regular use rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which helps prevent seal degradation and fluid breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the mileage, the condition of the suspension arms, bushes, and coil springs requires close scrutiny as these parts often show signs of fatigue at this distance. The braking system should also be checked for thin discs or seized calipers, despite the MOT history not specifically flagging these issues. Because the record does not list structural advisories, a thorough look at the underbody for surface or mounting point corrosion remains essential to ensure that the high mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
