2019 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · GY69 PYA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the car passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 37,819 miles, this followed a failure just days prior due to multiple safety-related defects. The resolution of the nearside rear shock absorber, the illegal tyre, and the washer system indicates that the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 37,819 miles over seven years, the Sandero has covered a low average of approximately 5,400 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, yet the data gap between January 2024 at 30,407 miles and January 2025 at 36,259 miles shows a recent increase in usage of 6,000 miles. Such low mileage can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion, which may align with the mechanical noted despite the low distance recorded. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension and wheel assemblies. The record shows a distorted inner road wheel on both the nearside and offside rear that persisted from January 2025 through to December 2025, suggesting a significant impact or curb damage that may have affected the wheel alignment. The failure of the nearside rear shock absorber in late 2025 necessitates a check of the opposite side for similar damping leaks or premature wear. Additionally, the recurring mention of the nearside rear tyre being worn to the edge suggests an ongoing alignment issue that needs to be verified to prevent further tyre scrubbing.
