2014 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · FE14 KFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026, though the maintenance trend appears stable rather than significantly improving. While the car passed the latest inspection, the history shows a persistent pattern of recurring mechanical and cosmetic defects that reappear across several years. The constant presence of corrosion and minor component failures suggests that repairs are addressed only when they fail inspection rather than through preventative maintenance. The recorded mileage is significantly low for a car that is twelve years old, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, moving from 43,896 miles in early 2023 to 50,527 miles in early 2026. While low mileage generally means less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as tyres and seals, which is reflected in this vehicle's specific history. A prospective buyer should conduct a close inspection of the exhaust system, as it has been flagged as corroded in every single test recorded. There is also evidence of structural aging; the rear axle and coil springs have been noted for corrosion in previous years. The buyer should check the condition of the tires specifically for cracking or perishing, as this has been a recurring issue due to the car potentially sitting for long periods. Additionally, the buyer should verify the CV boots and mirror assemblies, as a split boot and a damaged mirror have caused failures in the past. Given the history of damaged reflectors and screens, a thorough walkaround is necessary to ensure all components have been properly replaced and are not currently at risk of immediate safety failures.
