2019 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · KA14 SAV

The most recent MOT on 2025-06-26 recorded a pass, but several issues were noted. The nearside rear child seat hindered inspection of the adult seat belt, and the front brake disc was worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened. Front brake pads were also described as wearing thin. These findings suggest ongoing wear in the braking system, which requires monitoring. A prior MOT on 2025-06-25, just one day earlier, resulted in a fail. This included a serious shock absorber leak on the nearside front, a low coolant level, and multiple tyre issues: nearside front tyres were worn close to the legal limit with perished sidewalls, while the nearside rear tyre showed cracked tread. The offside registration plate lamp was inoperative, and the nearside headlamp aimed too low. These failures indicate significant mechanical and safety concerns, particularly with suspension, tyres, and lighting. Since 2024, recurring issues have emerged. The 2024 MOT highlighted slightly perished tyres and front brake discs worn but not excessively, alongside thin brake pads.
