2015 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · DY15 WFD

The vehicle presents a mixed picture of maintenance history, with the most recent MOT test on 2026-02-16 passing at 43,613 miles, followed by a failure on 2025-02-22 at 41,513 miles. This sequence indicates a lack of consistent upkeep, as the 2025 test failed before the 2026 test, suggesting that basic upkeep was likely skipped or neglected during the interim years. The 2026 test is the definitive record for the current roadworthiness status. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of miles over the past two years, jumping from 41,514 to 43,613 miles without any gaps or maintenance records. At roughly 3,965 miles per year, this is low for a 2015 model, which typically requires 10,000–15,000 miles per year. The rapid increase suggests that the vehicle may have been driven primarily for short periods or that the drivetrain components, such as the front brake disc, were not inspected regularly, leading to premature wear. In conclusion, the vehicle's mechanical condition is currently compromised by a lack of consistent maintenance and a history of structural failures. The 2025 failure of the offside front coil spring indicates that suspension bushings or springs may have become brittle or worn out, which would require immediate replacement. Additionally, the 2023 test revealed that the front brake disc is worn and pitted, but not seriously weakened, implying that the brake lining may need to be replaced soon. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to verify these findings and determine if the brake lining is still usable, as the lack of a recent MOT suggests that the vehicle is not roadworthy for driving.
