2021 Dacia Sandero 1.0L Petrol · KP21 CCZ

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 24,783 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from 4 March 2024 at 17,560 miles. No advisories or failures appear across either examination, indicating the vehicle has not entered a pattern of recurring mechanical faults. The mileage pattern shows light use for a five-year-old car. Between March 2024 and May 2025 the odometer advanced only 7,223 miles, an annualised rate near 4,957 miles per year against the vehicle's 2021 registration. Two MOT entries over the period is a sparse record, yet both are clean. The low accumulation suggests gentle running or extended standing periods rather than neglected high-mileage abuse. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and likely intermittent use. Standing vehicles often develop perished rubber components and surface corrosion on structural members even when test results stay clear. The DVSA data shows no flagged defects, but a clean MOT is not a substitute for checking underneath for rust or verifying tyre sidewall condition after low-use storage. Given the fault-free history and modest mileage, the Sandero's recorded care implies a previous owner who kept basic consumable wear within limits. The absence of advisories on emissions or structural integrity at both tests points to a sound baseline, though in-person checks on brake binding and exhaust hangers remain prudent before purchase.
