2015 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · DX65 YCE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 25 September 2025 at 87,451 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair, evidenced by a significant failure just one day prior at 87,449 miles. That failure identified a split offside front outer driveshaft boot alongside wear on the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and the offside front upper MacPherson strut bush. While these issues were addressed immediately to secure the subsequent pass, the presence of multiple suspension-related faults suggests components reaching their service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 5,263 miles, while the interval between 2024 and 2025 saw a further 4,404 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular light use rather than long periods of stationary storage which often leads to rubber degradation and brake corrosion. The intervals between tests indicate the owner has maintained the vehicle up to current testing standards. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry to ensure that the repairs to the anti-roll bar linkage and strut bush were executed correctly. Given the previous failure of the driveshaft boot, the buyer must check for grease leakage around the constant velocity joint, which would indicate imminent mechanical failure. The 2022 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the outer edge suggests potential alignment issues; therefore, the current tyre wear patterns should be scrutinized for unevenness to confirm the steering remains true.
