2018 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · FV67 TGY

The roadworthiness status of this Dacia Sandero is exceptionally strong, reflecting a stable and well-maintained mechanical profile based on the most recent clean pass recorded on March 31, 2025, at 43,920 miles. The absence of any advisories or recorded defects across the last three consecutive annual examinations indicates proactive vehicle care by previous keepers. The solitary failure listed on March 23, 2024, at 42,564 miles shows zero defect details attached to the record, which typically points to a procedural administrative error or an immediate rectification on the testing lane rather than a systemic mechanical fault. Covering 43,920 miles over an eight-year operational lifespan yields a modest average of approximately 5,490 miles per annum. The progression is entirely consistent and uninterrupted, moving from 32,864 miles in March 2022 to 37,061 miles in March 2023, and continuing through to the latest test in March 2025. This low-mileage usage pattern demonstrates regular, light annual running rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, preventing the battery degradation, brake disc pitting, and seized components commonly associated with laid-up vehicles. Prospective buyers should still conduct a thorough physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT history. Low-mileage examples often suffer from under-use of mechanical sub-assemblies, making it essential to check the condition of the brake discs and pads for corrosion, inspect the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and verify the operation of the exhaust system. Furthermore, check the tyre tread depth and manufacturing dates, as low annual mileage means tyres often age and harden long before the tread wears down to the legal limit.
