2019 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · HY69 HAE

The 2026‑01‑19 MOT at 39,450 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the vehicle meets current roadworthiness standards. Although the latest test shows no failures, the history reveals a pattern of recurring tyre perishing, moderate brake disc wear and a previous headlamp and wiper deficiency, indicating that the vehicle’s condition has not improved markedly over the past year. The recorded mileage of 39,450 miles at seven years old equates to roughly 5,600 miles per annum, a figure that is low for a 2019 model and suggests either limited use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage increments between the 2022‑11‑24 test (20,581 miles) and the 2024‑01‑22 test (26,737 miles) amount to 6,156 miles in just over two months, while subsequent intervals of 6,856 miles and 5,859 miles show a steady but modest accumulation, with no abrupt jumps that would signal heavy usage. A buyer should therefore focus on the recurring tyre perishing, which points to possible neglect of tyre maintenance or exposure to harsh conditions, and on the front inner brake disc, which has been noted as worn but not excessive in both the 2025 and 2026 tests, suggesting the need to examine brake pads, calipers and the condition of the discs for scoring or cracking. The repeated tyre damage raises questions about suspension bushes, coil springs and wheel alignment that may be contributing to uneven wear, while the 2025 headlamp failure and 2024 wiper deficiency imply that electrical and wiping systems should be verified. Finally, the tester flagged a tyre pressure monitoring system malfunction in 2024 and a rear tyre perishing issue in 2025, indicating that the TPMS sensor and tyre condition merit close inspection, and the absence of any corrosion or structural advisory in the latest test does not guarantee the absence of hidden rust, so a thorough visual and under‑body examination for structural integrity and exhaust condition is advisable.
