2021 Dacia Sandero Essential TCE 1.0L Petrol · HG71 ACY

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 6 June 2025 at 12,575 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similarly clean result from the previous year, indicating the car has been kept in a condition that meets all statutory safety and environmental standards without recurring faults. The mileage is exceptionally low for a five year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,515 miles per year. Between the 17 June 2024 test at 6,138 miles and the June 2025 test, the car covered 6,437 miles. This suggests the vehicle spent the first few years of its life in very light use before seeing a slight increase in annual mileage over the last twelve months. While the MOT history is flawless, the low mileage pattern introduces specific risks associated with vehicle dormancy. A buyer should personally inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as brakes often degrade when not used frequently. It is also advisable to examine the tyre sidewalls for age related cracking or flat spots, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Given the lack of flagged suspension or structural issues in the DVSA records, the mechanical integrity appears sound. However, the buyer should verify that the engine oil and other essential fluids have been changed according to the manufacturer's time intervals rather than mileage, as low use can lead to moisture build up and oil degradation.
