2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · KT67 YWB

The Dacia Sandero presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 January 2026 at 34,689 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual passes show no advisories or mechanical faults raised by testers. The vehicle has cleared every examination since its 2024 failure, which was logged on 18 January 2024 at 24,772 miles with no defects cited, then immediately passed on the same date under identical mileage. Annual mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car at roughly 4,336 miles per year. The records show steady accumulation: 18,733 miles in January 2023, 24,772 in January 2024, 30,050 in January 2025, and 34,689 in January 2026. The gap between the 2024 failure and pass on the same day suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical defect, as no faults were listed. No rapid accumulation or standing-still periods are evident from the data supplied. The clean MOT history gives no cause to suspect worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, brake disc condition, and tyre sidewall ageing, since low-mileage cars left unused can develop perishing rubber and surface rust not caught in a pass result. Given the absence of recorded advisories across five tests, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory standards. The unexplained same-day failure and pass in January 2024 warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason code, but the current evidence points to a sound, lightly used example.
