2014 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · FE14 KFX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful inspection on February 23, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the most recent test initially resulted in a failure due to a fractured or broken offside front coil spring. Once this repair was effected, the car passed with no further defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the owner is responsive to safety-critical mechanical failures when they are identified by the tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,515 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 6,636 miles, moving from 35,543 to 42,179 miles. This low annual usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, however, low-mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age rather than physical wear-and-tear. A buyer should pay close attention to the rubber-based components, as the February 2025 test flagged the nearside rear tyre for cracking and perishing at 40,434 miles. This confirms that the tyres may be reaching the end of their structural life due to age despite having sufficient tread. Given the recent failure of the coil spring, a thorough physical inspection of the remaining suspension assembly, including bushes and shock absorbers, is necessary to ensure no other metal fatigue or corrosion has developed from the vehicle's age.
