2018 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · DS68 HTZ

The 2018 Dacia Sandero's roadworthiness status appears stable based on the most recent MOT test on 2025-10-09 at 31,327 miles, although a failure was recorded on the same date at 31,325 miles due to a critical issue. A fractured or broken offside rear coil spring was identified, which is a serious concern for suspension integrity. Tyre condition was noted as slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing across all four tyres. The recorded mileage of 31,327 miles over approximately eight years translates to around 3,916 miles per year, which is relatively low. Between 2022-10-21 and 2023-10-20, the vehicle accumulated 1,343 miles, indicating light usage. Similarly, from 2024-10-14 to 2025-10-09, it covered around 933 miles, suggesting the vehicle may have been used conservatively or stored for periods. The sparse mileage data does not indicate any rapid accumulation that could suggest neglect or excessive use. Given the recurring tyre issues and a critical suspension fault, a buyer should inspect the vehicle's tyres for further deterioration and the suspension system, particularly the coil springs, for any signs of wear or damage. Additionally, it is advisable to examine the vehicle's overall condition, looking for any signs of neglect or deferred maintenance that could impact its reliability and longevity. The presence of a fractured coil spring in the past raises concerns about potential future issues if not properly addressed.
