2015 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · DC65 XCV

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 November 2025 at 46,018 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across five consecutive annual examinations. Annual mileage averages 4,183 miles against an eleven-year lifespan, confirming light use. The DVSA log shows steady annual increments: 25,226 miles in November 2021, 29,478 in November 2022, 35,659 in November 2023, 40,981 in November 2024, and 46,018 in November 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The sparse, fault-free record suggests the previous keeper maintained statutory testing discipline but offers no insight into interim servicing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness. Low-mileage vehicles left standing for extended periods often develop corrosion on structural members and brake calipers despite passing emissions and lighting checks. The clean MOT history does not exempt the Sandero from age-related degradation of rubber components and underbody protection. Verify service invoices to confirm fluid changes and cam belt interval compliance. The absence of advisories across all five tests implies no worsening mechanical trend, yet eleven years of environmental exposure warrants hands-on assessment of subframe integrity before purchase.
