2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · DP68 FFZ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passing tests after minor corrections. The most recent test in July 2025 at 40,498 miles initially showed a failure for an ineffective nearside windscreen wiper, but this was rectified immediately to secure a pass with no further defects recorded. This suggests the owner is attentive to addressing specific MOT failures once they are identified, rather than allowing minor faults to accumulate over multiple testing cycles. At eight years old, the 40,498 recorded miles average to approximately 5,062 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a petrol. The mileage data shows steady, linear progression, moving from 18,636 miles in August 2022 to 32,580 miles by July 2024. This low usage profile generally implies less mechanical strain on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components, though low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from perished rubber components if they remain stationary for long periods of time. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and wipers, as the 2022 test flagged perishing or damage on the nearside front outer tyre. Given the 2025 failure regarding the wiper blade, verify the state of all rubber elements and the tension in the wiper arm springs. Because the record shows no history of structural corrosion, brake issues, or suspension failures, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained for its age, provided the low-mileage usage has not led to fluid leaks or brake seizure due to lack of use.
