2019 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · FH68 FCC

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 17 February 2026 at 39,225 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared with no defects recorded at that test. Prior to this, the test on 13 February 2026 recorded a fail at 39,209 miles yet listed no defects, a pattern repeated when the car failed on 4 February 2025 at 33,571 miles before passing cleanly the next day at 33,573 miles. These administrative fails without recorded faults suggest paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits low for a 2019 registration, averaging roughly 5,600 miles per year against the 39,225 miles now shown. The records show steady accumulation: 25,717 miles in February 2024, 33,573 by February 2025, and 39,225 by February 2026. No abrupt jumps or standing gaps appear in the data, and the clean test outcomes across all three years indicate the previous keeper kept the car to a basic passing standard with no advisories logged for tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the braking system, coil springs, and underbody structural integrity given the two non-mechanical fails close together in early 2025 and early 2026. The absence of advisories on a seven-year-old vehicle tested annually is unusual and may mean the tester did not log minor wear such as wiper blades or tyre tread margins. Verify the exhaust emissions and check for any latent corrosion on sills and subframes that a clean MOT does not rule out. Given the low use and clean record, the Sandero looks a sound used purchase, but the repeated defect-free fails warrant confirmation that the V5C and test certificates match the DVSA timeline before completion.
