Our Verdict
This Dacia Sandero is a highly compellin
When inspecting this vehicle, the primary focus should be on the impact of its low usage. Vehicles that sit for long periods can develop issues with seized brake components or perished rubber seals, even if they pass their annual MOT. Ensure you take a thorough test drive to listen for any noises from the suspension or drivetrain that might not be picked up during a stationary inspection.
Verify that the service history aligns with the low mileage. Even if the car has only covered a few hundred miles annually, the engine oil should still be changed periodically to prevent degradation. Check the condition of the tyres; while the MOT history shows no defects, the age of the rubber may be a factor if the original tyres are still fitted.
The 1.2-litre petrol engine is generally economical, and the Sandero is known for being affordable to tax and insure. With such low annual mileage, your primary costs will be limited to fuel and routine maintenance items like oil and filter changes.
Expect annual running costs to be in the region of £700-£900, depending on your insurance profile and local fuel prices. Parts for the Dacia Sandero are widely available and cost-effective, making this an ideal choice for budget-conscious motoring.
While the MOT history is clean, you should still perform a physical check of the common failure points for this model, specifically the headlamps and drive shaft joints. Inspect the light lenses for any signs of clouding or moisture ingress, and check the CV joint gaiters for any splits or leaking grease.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres for any signs of cracking or 'flat spots' due to the vehicle's long periods of inactivity. Ensure all electrical features, such as the windows and infotainment, are functioning correctly, as these are sometimes overlooked during the basic MOT test.
Registered in April 2014, this blue 1.2-litre petrol Sandero has covered just 14,577 miles in over 12 years. The MOT history is exceptional, showing five consecutive clean passes with no advisories recorded since 2022. Given the extremely low mileage, this vehicle represents a rare find in the used market for those prioritising minimal mechanical usage.
The Dacia Sandero generally performs well in MOT testing, with an average pass rate of 78.1% across the 99,381 vehicles analysed.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2014 model year cars.
- Bodywork Corrosion (Early Models)Moderate
Early Sandero Mk2s had thinner undersealing, leading to surface rust on sills, seams, and inner wheel arches on UK salted roads.
- Rear Brake Cylinder LeaksModerate
The rear drum brake wheel cylinders can start weeping fluid, which contaminates the brake shoes and reduces efficiency.
