2014 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · DF63 SOU

The 2014 Dacia Sandero recorded at 92,676 miles passed its latest MOT on 28 August 2025, confirming that the serious faults listed in the 21 August 2025 failure have been corrected. The earlier failure, which included a fractured anti‑roll bar linkage, worn suspension arm ball joint, split CV joint boot and excessively worn drive shaft joints, showed a worsening maintenance pattern that was remedied before the recent test, so the vehicle now meets the minimum roadworthiness criteria pending a physical inspection. Mileage has risen from 85,062 miles on 30 July 2024 to 92,676 miles on 21 August 2025, an increase of roughly 7,600 miles in a year, which matches the average annual mileage for a 12‑year‑old vehicle and shows no abnormal gaps in the record. The jump from 76,532 miles on 27 July 2023 to 85,062 miles on 30 July 2024 added about 8,500 miles, again consistent with typical usage. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes, ball joints and anti‑roll bar links for play or corrosion, examine the drive shaft constant‑velocity boots for splits and the joints for excessive wear, and verify that the brake discs and pads are within service limits despite the recurring thin‑pad advisories. The repeated edge‑wear tyre advisories indicate possible alignment or inflation problems that merit a detailed check, and the registration lamp failure on 21 August 2025 requires functional testing of all lighting systems. No explicit rust advisories appear, but the history of suspension component failures suggests a thorough chassis inspection is advisable.
