2020 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · DE70 OMW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in May 2026 with 22,429 miles. While the overall trend remains stable across the previous three years, the latest test indicates a decline in maintenance standards regarding tyre condition. The tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being near the legal limit with uneven wear patterns, suggesting alignment issues or neglected maintenance prior to the inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,738 miles per year. Data shows a significant jump in usage between June 2023 at just 505 miles and June 2024 at 7,397 miles, followed by a steady increase of roughly 9,000 miles over the following two years. This low annual mileage generally reduces mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to flat-spototted tyres or brake corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry to account for the uneven tyre wear recorded in the 2026 test. The wear on the inner and outer edges specifically points to incorrect camber or worn ball joints and suspension bushings. It is also advisable to check the brake discs for pitting or rust, as low-use vehicles often suffer from calipers not clearing surface effectively. Beyond these consumable items, the history shows no structural weaknesses or mechanical failures, indicating the core remains sound.
