2023 Dacia Sandero Stepway Journey TCE 1.0L Petrol · HJ23 KSF

The Dacia Sandero Stepway Journey TCE presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 15,110 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. This clean result indicates the vehicle currently meets DVSA standards across emissions, braking, suspension, and structural checks. The recorded mileage of 15,110 at the March 2026 test equates to roughly 5,037 miles per year since the 2023 registration, a low figure for a three-year-old vehicle. The single MOT entry provides no basis for identifying gaps or rapid accumulation, though the low annual use suggests either light commuting or extended periods stationary. Standing time can accelerate rubber perishing and flat-spotting on tyres despite the clean sheet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's low mileage and likely intermittent use. The absence of advisories in the March 2026 test means no worn components were flagged, but a three-year-old vehicle with one test on file offers limited history to confirm long-term care patterns. Previous keeper behaviour cannot be judged from a single clean pass. The record implies basic statutory compliance was met, yet the sparse history leaves structural corrosion and underbody condition unverified beyond the 2026 examination.
