2020 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · DG20 APZ

This 2020 Dacia Sandero holds a clean and stable MOT record. The most recent test on 26 April 2025 at 8,565 miles ended in a pass with no defects recorded. That result continues a clear pattern: every annual inspection since 2023 has passed outright, with no advisories at any stage. The roadworthiness status is therefore sound, and the maintenance trend is stable with no signs of mechanical decline. The mileage profile sits well below average for a car of this age. A 2020-registered example is now around six years old, yet it had covered only 8,565 miles at its last test, equating to roughly 1,428 miles per year. The gaps between inspections bear this out: 2,256 miles between May 2023 and May 2024, then 1,764 miles between May 2024 and April 2025. Nothing in the record suggests rapid accumulation or heavy use. The sparse, clean history points to a gently run car, though low annual mileage can also mean long periods of standing between journeys. Because no faults or advisories appear in the MOT history, there are no specific suspension, brake, or corrosion concerns to carry forward. The absence of flags on bushes, coil springs, discs, or structural rust is a genuine positive. Still, a pre-purchase inspection should cover the consumables that degrade with age rather than distance. On a six-year-old car, tyres can show sidewall cracking even at this mileage, and brake discs can rust when a vehicle sits idle for weeks at a time. Look for binding calipers and surface corrosion on the underside. The MOT itself expired in April 2026, so factor in the cost of a fresh test before the car returns to the road.
