2017 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · GK67 BUW

This Dacia Sandero has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across five consecutive tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the examinations from 2021 to 2025. The most recent test on 26 June 2025 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, though it is now 14 months overdue for its next MOT. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, maintenance—though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred repairs beyond MOT scope. The recorded mileage of 51,405 miles over nine years equates to approximately 5,712 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could impact components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers due to prolonged static loading. There are no abrupt mileage jumps or gaps in the MOT history to indicate neglect, but the low annual mileage may mean some wear items—such as brake pads or tyres—have not been cycled as frequently as they might in higher-mileage vehicles. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to premature degradation in low-mileage but aged vehicles. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant close examination for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Additionally, check for corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as rust can develop even in low-mileage cars exposed to UK road conditions. The exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or loose mounts, as catalytic converter failures are a common concern in this model range. Finally, verify the condition of the battery and electrical connections, as prolonged inactivity can lead to corrosion or drained cells.
