2020 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · EY20 OWB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in basic consumable upkeep. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 22,728 miles passed, it introduced advisories regarding front tyres worn to the legal limit and exhibiting uneven edge wear. This suggests a potential alignment issue or simple neglect of routine tyre replacement, contrasting with the clean records seen in 2023 and early 2024. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 9,458 miles and September 2024 at 15,269 miles, the car covered roughly 5,800 miles. This low-use pattern generally implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine components, but the consistent low-mileage intervals can sometimes lead to dry degradation of rubber components or corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits for extended periods without regular use. A buyer should physically inspect the front alignment to address the cause of the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2025 test. The failure in 2024 due to an ineffective offside front windscreen wiper indicates a minor oversight in basic maintenance that should be verified for current visibility. Given the low mileage, a close look at the brake system for surface rust or seizing of calipers is advisable, as these components can suffer on vehicles that are not driven regularly enough to clear away surface oxidation.
