2016 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · DV66 AFJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of inconsistent testing. The most recent inspection on November 4, 2025 at 87,422 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems currently meet the minimum standard. While the history shows instances of failure, the immediate re-tests on the same day suggest the previous owner was proactive in addressing identified faults to maintain legal road use. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 10,995 miles recorded between February 2024 and January 2025, followed by a rapid accumulation of 8,825 miles in the ten months leading to the November 2025 test. This surge in usage suggests the car was used more frequently recently than previously. The overall mileage remains moderate for the age, which typically results in less wear on drivetrain components like the clutch or gearbox compared to high-mile counterparts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific causes of the failures in February 2024 and January 2025, as the records provided do not specify the mechanical reason for these declines. Given the age of the Sandero, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs is necessary as these components often degrade at this mileage. Inspect the underside brake discs for excessive corrosion and check the exhaust system for structural thinning, as these are common points of failure on these vehicles as they approach the 90,000-mile mark.
