2019 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · HS19 OJF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 16,743 miles which returned no defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement following a period of recurring consumable-related issues. While previous tests highlighted specific weaknesses, the clean pass in the latest inspection suggests the owner has addressed outstanding concerns and that the vehicle is currently in a sound mechanical state. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Between April 2022 and February 2026, the car covered only 9,514 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or very short journeys. This low usage typically results in minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension bushings. However, the data reveals that the vehicle has sat long enough to affect rubber components, as seen in the repeated advisories related to age-related degradation rather than tread depth. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyres during a physical inspection. The records from 2024 and 2025 consistently flagged all four tyres for cracking and perishing, a common symptom of rubber rot caused by low mileage and lack of movement. Even though the 2026 test passed without these notes, the age of the rubber means the sidewalls should be checked for deep fractures that compromise safety. The 2023 failure regarding the windscreen wipers was a minor maintenance oversight, but it reinforces the pattern that basic exterior items may be neglected during the long periods of inactivity.
