2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · GU18 KMA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing results. The most recent MOT test conducted on 14 March 2026 at 57,245 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This follows a period of clean passes over the previous three years, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard without recurring mechanical or structural failures being flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical annual usage for an older hatchback, averaging approximately 7,156 miles per year. Between the 2024 test at 37,777 miles and the 2025 test at 46,624 miles, the car covered 8,847 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The interval of 10,621 miles recorded between March 2025 and March 2026 suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the health of the drivetrain and rubber components. While the MOT record shows no outstanding advisories, a buyer should still focus their physical inspection on components that degrade with age rather than just mileage. Given the eight-year age, it is prudent to check for early signs of corrosion on the exhaust system and the integrity of the suspension bushes and coil springs. The brake discs and pads should be examined for uneven wear or thinning, as the MOT only tests for operational efficiency rather than the remaining life of these consumables. The single failure on 11 March 2023 at 31,602 miles was resolved immediately, as the subsequent retest that same day resulted in a pass.
