2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · DN68 DMZ

The vehicle has a current roadworthiness status of passed, as evidenced by the latest MOT test on 2025-10-30 at 38,406 miles. However, the maintenance trend is not entirely stable, with a notable advisory on the front brake pads wearing thin. This is the first defect recorded in the past three MOT tests, suggesting a potential worsening trend in brake component wear. The recorded mileage of 38,406 miles at approximately 8 years of age indicates a relatively low mileage for its age, suggesting either lighter use or extended periods of inactivity. The mileage accumulation pattern appears to be steady, with a consistent annual mileage of around 4,801 miles. Notably, the vehicle was stationary for a period of 5 years between 2019 and 2024, accumulating only 4,273 miles during this time. This prolonged inactivity may have contributed to the overall low mileage. The MOT history reveals a few notable faults that a buyer should inspect in person. The recent advisory on the front brake pads wearing thin is a key concern, as is the previous advisory on the nearside front windscreen wiper blade. Additionally, the vehicle has not had any brake-related defects recorded in the past two MOT tests, suggesting that the binding rear brakes issue may have been resolved. A thorough inspection of the brake system, including the pads, discs, and calipers, is essential to verify the current condition. Furthermore, a visual inspection of the vehicle's suspension, steering, and structural components is recommended to ensure there are no signs of corrosion or damage.
