2017 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · CX17 OTB

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 92,119 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 1 March 2025 at 83,955 miles confirms the vehicle entered its ninth year free of flagged advisories or failures. Mileage accumulation tracks typical use for a 2017 registered vehicle. The record shows 73,563 miles at the February 2024 test, rising to 83,955 by March 2025 and 92,119 by February 2026, equating to roughly 9,400 to 9,600 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods. The DVSA history is sparse but clean beyond two same-day fail-and-pass cycles in 2024 and 2025 where the failure entries carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the car has passed nine years and 92,000 miles without advisories, which may reflect light examiner scrutiny rather than confirmed component condition. The absence of corrosion or exhaust emission flags across the record is favourable, yet structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants visual checks for hidden rust. The repeated zero-defect passes suggest previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance, though the lack of any advisory history denies the buyer a useful wear baseline. Verify service records independently and confirm the 2024 and 2025 same-day failures were clerical, not concealed rectification work.
