2016 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · FX66 OGD

The 2016 Dacia Sandero exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with five consecutive MOT passes from 2021 to 2025, all recording no defects. The most recent test on 2025-11-06 at 16,998 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or escalating faults are evident in the history, suggesting the vehicle has been well-kept within the scope of its low mileage. The mileage progression reveals a gradual increase, from 3,379 miles in 2021 to 16,998 in 2025, averaging approximately 1,700 miles annually. This low usage rate, particularly for a 10-year-old vehicle, may reflect infrequent operation or extended periods of inactivity. Notably, the jump from 8,515 miles in 2023 to 13,499 in 2024 represents a significant 4,984-mile increase, which could signal a shift in usage patterns. However, the absence of defects in all tests suggests the vehicle has not suffered from excessive wear despite its low mileage. While the MOT records show no structural or mechanical failures, the low mileage warrants scrutiny of components prone to degradation during inactivity. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for stiffness or corrosion, as prolonged standing can accelerate wear in these areas. Additionally, check the exhaust system for rust and the battery’s condition, as underuse may lead to sulfation. The absence of advisories on tyres or fluid levels is positive, but a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s overall state.
