2016 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · EX66 AEO

The 2016 Dacia Sandero presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-27 confirming a pass at 68,345 miles. Despite a failed test on the same date at 68,342 miles, the absence of recorded defects in both instances suggests no critical mechanical or structural issues. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows no recurring faults, and the lack of advisories or failures in the last three tests indicates consistent compliance with safety standards. The recent pass aligns with the expected service pattern for a 10-year-old vehicle with 68,345 miles, though the duplicated test entries require clarification. Mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of 6,834 miles annually, consistent with the car’s age. The 2024-03-28 test at 59,345 miles and subsequent 2025-03-28 test at 64,009 miles reflect a 4,664-mile increase, while the 2026-03-27 test recorded a 4,336-mile rise. These figures align with typical usage, though the 2024-03-27 failed test at 59,344 miles—just one mile less than the following pass—raises questions about testing accuracy. The absence of defects in all tests suggests the vehicle has not experienced significant wear, though the sparse data limits deeper analysis of long-term trends. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade over time without immediate MOT failures. The braking system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity, including rust on the chassis or body panels, is also critical, as corrosion can develop in older models. While the MOT records show no red flags, these areas warrant physical verification to confirm the vehicle’s condition aligns with its documented history.
