2016 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · FP66 XDN

The 2016 Dacia Sandero is presently roadworthy, having passed the February 2026 MOT at 88,408 miles with no defects recorded. The vehicle failed the same day at 88,405 miles due to a fractured off‑side front coil spring and likely detached anti‑roll bar linkages, and it also failed in February 2025 with severely worn front brake discs and pads below 1.5 mm, yet the subsequent February 2026 test shows that those issues have been remedied and the car now meets all requirements. Since the February 2024 test at 71,681 miles, the odometer has risen to 88,408 miles, a gain of 16,727 miles over roughly two years, averaging about 8,360 miles per year, which is below the typical 8,841 miles per year for a ten‑year‑old vehicle and suggests periods of reduced use. The most recent 12‑month interval, from February 2025 (76,785 miles) to February 2026 (88,408 miles), adds more than 11,600 miles, indicating a noticeable increase in annual mileage. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension geometry and bushings, confirming that the coil spring and anti‑roll bar linkages are intact and properly secured after the 2026 repair, and verify that the brake discs and pads show no further excessive wear beyond the recent service. The tyres, which displayed perishing in 2025, merit a close visual check for cracks, uneven tread wear and correct inflation, while the chassis and wheel‑arch areas should be inspected for rust or structural corrosion that could undermine long‑term durability.
