2018 Dacia Sandero 0.9L Petrol · LC68 FHF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent MOT test on 12 December 2025 at 41,330 miles shows a pass following a failure just two days prior. While the immediate failures regarding headlamp alignment and windscreen wipers were rectified, the recurring presence of advisories related to tyre condition and brake fluctuations suggests the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they reach the point of failing an annual test. At 41,330 miles, this eight-year-old Dacia Sandero has covered relatively low mileage, averaging approximately 5,166 miles per year. The usage remains consistent across the records, with 5,778 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 5,433 miles in the year leading to the latest test. However, the low mileage appears to correlate with accelerated degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the consistent reports of cracking and perishing across multiple tyres despite the low tread wear. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of all four tyres, as the tester has repeatedly flagged perishing and uneven wear over the last three years. The nearside front service brake was noted as fluctuating in December 2025, which often indicates warped brake discs or a sticking caliper that requires close monitoring to ensure consistent stopping performance. Additionally, the failure of the headlamp levelling device and wiper blades necessitates a check of the electrical assembly and the cowl of the wipers to ensure the repairs were effective.
