2018 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · FL18 TYU

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 February 2026 at 35,164 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes since the earliest entry in this history. Annual mileage sits well below typical for an eight-year-old car. The records show 15,998 miles in March 2022, rising to 20,925 by March 2023, 25,414 in March 2024, 29,382 in March 2025, and 35,164 by February 2026. That averages roughly 4,400 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. Low use of this sort often means lighter loading on suspension bushes, drivetrain joints, and brake discs, though prolonged standing can allow corrosion or perished seals to develop unseen. No advisories or failures appear across the five tests, so the file gives no flag for recurring mechanical or structural faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and brake caliper condition, since the MOT only captures road-test-day state. Check coil springs and suspension arms for rust, and confirm tyres have not aged-cracked from low mileage. Given the clean record and modest use, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. The absence of any noted exhaust emissions or binding brake issues suggests the car was not run to failure between tests.
