2019 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · DU69 MFO

The 2019 Dacia Sandero remains roadworthy with a clean MOT history, showing a stable maintenance trend over the past four years. The most recent test on 2025-06-16 confirmed the vehicle passed with only a minor defect: a nail in the nearside rear tyre. This is a common occurrence and does not indicate systemic issues. The consistent passing results suggest the vehicle has been maintained to a reasonable standard, with no major mechanical or structural concerns flagged in recent years. Mileage progression shows a steady annual average of approximately 8,366 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between MOTs is consistently one year, with no extended periods of inactivity or sudden spikes in mileage. The 2023 MOT noted several tyre-related issues, including nearside front tread wear and cracking, as well as cuts on the rear tyres. While these were not critical, they highlight the importance of regular tyre checks and replacement. The absence of defects in the 2022 and 2024 tests indicates that these issues were addressed promptly and did not recur. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are common wear points on this model. The nearside rear brake caliper should be checked for binding, as this can lead to uneven wear and reduced braking efficiency. Additionally, inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, especially around the rear section, as this is a known weak point. The front tyres should be examined closely for uneven wear patterns, and the rear tyres should be assessed for any signs of internal damage from the previously noted cuts. A full brake system check is recommended to ensure all components are functioning correctly and safely.
