2013 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · DV63 YJR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in December 2023 at 102,545 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met minimum safety standards at that time. This follows a period of clean results in 2022 and 2020, suggesting that the mechanical components have been maintained without major failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,888 miles per year. Between December 2020 at 79,508 miles and December 2023 at 102,545 miles, the car covered 23,037 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 7,600 miles annually. The single failure in December 2021 at 86,532 miles followed immediately by a pass suggests a minor issue that was rectified promptly rather than chronic neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for a Dacia Sandero of this age. While the MOT history is clean of recurring advisories, the mileage of over 100,000 miles necessitates a check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue. Inspect the brake discs for thinning and check the condition of the brake pads, as the MOT does not measure the thickness of consumable components. Since the last recorded test was over eighteen months ago, a current MOT is essential to ensure no new structural corrosion or mechanical leaks have developed since the December 2023 entry.
