2014 Dacia Sandero 1.1L Petrol · HA04 CAM

A recurring pattern of tyre degradation and emerging structural corrosion defines the mechanical history of this vehicle, which passed its latest MOT on 2026-04-07. The record shows a persistent issue with uneven wear on the nearside front tyre and a history of mismatched or damaged rear tyres. While the vehicle remains roadworthy, the appearance of sill corrosion and braking system advisories in recent years indicates a trend of increasing wear on chassis and safety components. The recorded mileage of 81,038 miles over approximately twelve years represents a typical annual accumulation of roughly 6,753 miles. This usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been used consistently rather than subjected to extreme high-mileage wear or the degradation associated with long periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this mileage level typically coincides with the expected wear of consumables and the beginning of fatigue in suspension bushings and braking hardware. Close inspection of the braking system is required due to recorded corrosion on the rear brake pipes and pitting on the inner faces of the front discs. On a test drive, the buyer should feel for any pedal judder or a lack of linear deceleration, and specifically check for a soft or spongy pedal response that could indicate the progression of the previously noted pipe corrosion. The advisory regarding a lagging offside rear brake should be monitored for uneven braking force or a slight pull under heavy deceleration. Attention must be paid to the offside rear sill and door shut area where corrosion has been officially noted. This should be physically inspected for bubbling paint or structural perforation. Additionally, the history of a supplementary restraint system warning lamp failure in 2025 necessitates confirmation that the airbag system is currently clear of faults. Finally, the repeated outer-edge wear on the nearside front tyre suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension components, which may manifest as a steering pull or instability during cornering.
