2016 Dacia Sandero 1.5L Diesel · KX16 DXD

The latest DVSA test on 23 June 2025 at 60,576 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the Dacia Sandero is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance history demonstrates a stable trend. Mileage has risen from 31,289 miles in June 2022 to 60,576 miles in June 2025, an increase of roughly 29,287 miles over three years, which translates to an average of about 9,762 miles per year, well above the typical 6,000‑mile annual rate for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. The jump from 39,400 miles in July 2023 to 48,094 miles in June 2024 (8,694 miles) and then to 60,576 miles a year later (12,482 miles) shows accelerating usage, yet each test recorded no defects, indicating consistent upkeep despite higher mileage. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension bushes and coil springs, which can wear rapidly under sustained mileage, and on the brake discs and calipers, which may show binding or uneven wear despite the pass. Inspection of the chassis for structural rust, especially around the wheel arches and sills, and verification of exhaust emission levels are also advisable, as these components are prone to deterioration on high‑mileage examples. The absence of recorded defects across five consecutive tests suggests that previous owners have addressed wear items promptly, but a physical examination of tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and fluid levels will confirm whether the documented stability translates to current mechanical health.
