2016 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · FN66 XNK

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 July 2025 at 52,593 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a same-day failure at 52,592 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests from July 2022 through July 2024 also passed cleanly, showing no worsening pattern across the visible history. Recorded mileage sits at 52,593 against a 2016 build, averaging roughly 5,259 miles per year. The car covered 35,151 miles by 20 July 2022, 41,625 by 21 July 2023, 46,516 by 17 July 2024, and 52,593 by 11 July 2025. Annual accumulation held steady near 5,000 to 6,000 miles with no gaps or sudden jumps. The DVSA data is sparse on advisories, showing no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. Low mileage with no advisories can mask standing-related issues such as perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, or surface corrosion on brake discs and underbody structures not caught in a pass. The same-day fail and pass in July 2025 warrants confirmation that no outstanding recall or documentation anomaly exists. Focus the viewing on suspension arms, coil springs, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity for hidden rust. The previous owner appears to have maintained basic statutory testing, but absence of advisories offers no evidence of proactive consumable replacement.
