2014 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · GJ63 YJP

This Dacia Sandero presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 26 November 2025 at 87,021 miles passed with zero defects. That clean sheet extends back through every recorded annual test in this history, including the November 2024 pass at 83,058 miles and the November 2023 pass at 79,695 miles. No recurring faults, no advisories, and no failures appear across the entire five-year record. The maintenance picture is clearly stable and consistently well-managed. The mileage accumulation pattern reinforces that assessment. The vehicle has covered roughly 7,252 miles per year since new, which is typical for a 2014 supermini. More telling is the steady annual increment visible in the MOT data: 3,363 miles between November 2024 and November 2025, 3,363 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, and a similarly consistent 799 miles between November 2022 and November 2023. There are no suspicious gaps suggesting long periods of inactivity, nor sudden spikes indicating unusually heavy use. The odometer readings align cleanly with the test dates, and no mileage anomalies appear in the record. Despite the flawless MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on components that MOT tests do not fully stress. At 87,000 miles, the front suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers may show age-related deterioration not always visible in a standard test. The brake discs, calipers, and handbrake cables deserve close attention, as binding or uneven wear can develop between tests. Underneath the vehicle, check for corrosion on the subframe, sill edges, and exhaust mounting points, particularly if the car has spent winters on salted roads. Tyre condition and tread depth should be verified across all four corners, including the spare if fitted. The exhaust system and catalytic converter warrant a cold-start check for excessive smoke or unusual emissions, even though no defects were flagged. Inspect the steering rack for play and the CV gaiters for splits or grease loss. While this record suggests a conscientious previous owner who kept the car in strong mechanical order, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains the most reliable way to confirm that the underlying condition matches the paperwork.
