2014 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · FE14 KFZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward worsening consumable condition. While the car passed the previous three tests without defects, the July 2025 advisory identified front tyres worn close to the legal limit with uneven edges. This suggests a potential alignment issue or suspension artwork wear that requires attention to prevent further damage to new rubber. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There was a visible increase in usage between mid-2024 and mid-2025, where it covered over 12,000 miles in a single year, compared to much lower annual figures in previous years. Despite this spike, the overall mileage suggests the engine has not been subjected to high stress, though consistent low-distance driving can sometimes lead to buildup or dormant-component degradation. A prospective buyer should person inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment to account for the uneven tyre wear noted in the latest test. Given the car's age and relatively low mileage, it is also vital to check for surface corrosion on the underside and structural sills, as these are common areas for this model to develop rust over time. Verifying the condition of the brake components and bushes is advisable to ensure that the periods of lower use have not resulted in seized or perished rubber parts.
