2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · CY18 CWV

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 June 2025 at 42,935 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the prior four years. The mileage record shows light use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The odometer rose from 11,247 miles at the June 2022 tests to 22,254 miles in June 2023, then 33,536 miles in June 2024, and 42,935 miles in June 2025. That equates to roughly 5,300 miles per year, confirming the car has covered under half the national average. The two entries dated 14 June 2022 at identical mileage show a fail and pass on the same day with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or process anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Given the absence of any advisories across the full history, no recurring wear patterns emerge in the suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. A clean MOT sheet at low mileage does not, however, confirm component condition. The buyer should still inspect the coil springs and subframe for corrosion, check the tyres for perishing from long standing periods, and verify the brake calipers are free given the car's low annual use. The record implies a cautious owner who kept the vehicle garaged or lightly run. With no flagged defects and consistent annual testing, the Sandero's history supports a low-risk purchase subject to a routine physical inspection.
