2017 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · FP67 ADO

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 10 October 2025 at 43,591 miles recording no defects. The vehicle cleared every annual test from the 9 October 2023 examination at 35,252 miles through to the latest check. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the three-year documented span, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 2017 registration. The car covered 35,252 miles by October 2023, rising to 39,125 miles at the October 2024 test and 43,591 miles by October 2025. That equates to roughly 4,000 miles per year, well below typical averages and suggesting limited daily operation or extended standing periods. The DVSA entries are clean and sparse, with two failed tests on the same dates as passes in 2024 and 2025 showing no recorded defects, a pattern consistent with administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished defect record. Low annual mileage combined with probable inactivity risks perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, degraded brake hoses, and flat-spotted tyres from prolonged storage. Standing vehicles commonly develop surface corrosion on brake discs and underbody structures unseen in an MOT lane unless flagged. Verify the October 2024 and 2025 fail-and-pass pairings were clerical re-entries and not concealed faults. Examine coil springs, subframe mounting points, and exhaust emissions during a cold start. The absent advisory history offers no warning of wear trends, so independent assessment of drivetrain condition and structural integrity remains prudent before purchase.
