2017 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · FP17 HMC

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 May 2025 at 76,133 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVLA record, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening wear or recurring defects under official inspection. Recorded mileage sits at 76,133 miles against a 2017 build, averaging roughly 8,459 miles per year which is typical for the age. The tests show steady accumulation: 59,657 miles in July 2023, 67,888 to 67,913 miles across June and July 2024, then 76,133 by May 2025. The only anomaly is a failed test on 19 June 2024 at 67,888 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass the same day at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The history is sparse and clean, with no consumable or structural issues logged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the car is now nine years old and the MOT record logs no advisories that would flag emerging wear. The absence of recorded faults does not confirm component condition, only that testers found nothing reportable at each annual check. Given the clean pass profile and ordinary mileage, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory testing without neglected failures. Verify service history and inspect tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions in person, as these consumables fall outside MOT defect logging when within limits.
