2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · DT18 ADV

The vehicle demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, with all five MOT tests passing without defects. The most recent 2025-07-02 assessment at 53,422 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with the prior four consecutive passes from 2021 to 2024. No recurring faults or escalating concerns are evident in the record, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, the gap between the last test and today’s date (13 months) means the vehicle has not been re-inspected recently, leaving potential emerging issues unverified. Mileage progression shows regular usage, with annual increments of approximately 8,000–10,000 miles. The 2021 test at 11,371 miles marked the earliest recorded data, followed by steady growth to 53,422 miles by 2025. No abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity periods are visible, indicating balanced driving habits. This pattern supports the assumption of moderate wear, though the absence of detailed defect reports limits insight into specific component degradation. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the undercarriage for corrosion, particularly in the UK’s damp climate, and verify the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points on older models. The absence of brake-related advisories in the record does not preclude checking for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, as these may develop between tests. Additionally, the exhaust system and structural integrity should be reviewed, as minor leaks or rust could go undetected in standard MOT checks.
