2015 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · DS15 AEK

The Dacia Sandero shows a consistent history of roadworthiness in its most recent testing cycles. Following a clean pass in April 2025 at 74,548 miles, the vehicle has no recorded defects, indicating that the current owner has addressed previously identified issues. This represents a positive trend compared to the 2019 to 2022 period where multiple advisories and failures were common. The absence of advisories in the last two tests suggests the vehicle is currently in a stable mechanical state. At 74,548 miles over eleven years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,800 miles per year, which aligns with low-to-mid-range usage patterns. This lower mileage often correlates with less wear on drivetrain components, but the record reveals periods of neglect regarding basic consumables. Between 2019 and 2022, the tester repeatedly flagged tyres for cracking, perishing, and uneven wear, suggesting the car likely sat for long periods or the owner overlooked routine upkeep. However, the jump of 12,710 miles between 2024 and 2025 shows more recent, consistent use. Mechanical attention should be paid to the braking system and suspension components. The 2023 test at 54,028 miles identified front brake discs that were pitted and scored, while 2019 records noted a binding rear service brake. While these appear to have been rectified, a buyer should inspect for continued caliper sticking or uneven pad wear to ensure the issue has not returned. No structural corrosion or rust is mentioned in the history, which is a significant sign for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
